点评:We are no strangers to Persie or its range as we live locally, and have visited the distillery shop on several occasions, but this was the first time we had combined a tasting with a tour of the production areas. It was great fun and very informative and, on a late afternoon when the rain was pouring down and wind howling outside, being in the warm and cosy tasting room was a case of being in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing!
Chrissie and Simon's knowledge of, and enthusiasm for, their subjects were considerable. The tasting gave us an opportunity to explore different combinations of gins and mixers that we would never have tried at home. Understanding the distilling process, which is very much hands/noses on at Persie, with no automation, was fascinating.
It was a bonus to know more about their vodka operation, and a new whisky project in conjunction with a Perthshire whisky distillery which we will be keeping a close eye on.
For anyone wanting to know more about gin, or just to buy excellent products at source, visiting the shop and taking a tour are must-dos. For animal lovers, the icing on the cake is learning about the support Persie provide to local animal charities.
Thank you to Chrissie, Simon and Simon's mum for a wonderful experience!
翻译:我们对珀西酒厂及其产品并不陌生,因为我们就住在附近,也曾多次光顾酒厂商店。但这次却是我们第一次将品鉴与生产区参观结合起来。整个过程既有趣又收获颇丰。在一个傍晚,外面大雨倾盆,狂风呼啸,而我们却身处温暖舒适的品鉴室,真是恰逢其时,做了件好事!
克丽丝和西蒙对他们所研究的领域有着渊博的知识和极大的热情。品鉴让我们有机会尝试各种不同的金酒和调酒组合,这些都是我们平时在家从未尝试过的。了解珀西酒厂的蒸馏过程——完全依靠人工操作,没有自动化设备——令人着迷。
更令人惊喜的是,我们还了解到了他们的伏特加生产情况,以及他们与珀斯郡一家威士忌酒厂合作的新威士忌项目,我们会密切关注这个项目的进展。
对于任何想要了解更多金酒知识,或者只是想直接从源头购买优质产品的人来说,参观这家商店并参加导览是必不可少的。对于动物爱好者来说,更令人惊喜的是,还能了解到珀西对当地动物慈善机构的支持。
感谢克丽丝、西蒙和西蒙的妈妈,让我们拥有了一次美好的体验!
