点评:We took our son to Rollins Distillery while he was visiting from New Jersey, and Patrick absolutely blew us away with the tasting!
We already loved their Esprit de Krewe bottles from a tasting at Total Wine in Destin, but going to the distillery takes it to the next level. Unlike standard grain alcohol, they make everything from 100% Florida molasses. You can really taste the difference—super smooth and packed with flavor.
Patrick is a total pro and so passionate about what he does. He mixed the science of distilling with cool local history and stories about Jean Lafitte, serving up perfect neat pours and awesome mixers.
We couldn't leave empty-handed, so we grabbed a bottle of The Krewe of Jean Lafitte Gunpowder Rum, some collectible cocktail cards, and tasting glasses you can only get there. Total 10/10 experience that exceeded all our expectations!
翻译:我们带从新泽西州来访的儿子去了罗林斯酿酒厂,帕特里克在品酒环节的表现简直让我们惊叹不已!
之前我们在德斯坦的Total Wine酒类专卖店品尝后,就已经喜欢上了他们出品的Esprit de Krewe系列酒瓶包装,而亲自到酿酒厂体验则更让我们心醉神迷。与普通谷物酒精不同,他们使用的原料完全是100%来自佛罗里达州的糖蜜。喝起来差别显而易见——口感极为顺滑且风味十足。
帕特里克绝对是个行家,对自己从事的工作充满了无限热情。他将蒸馏工艺的科学知识与当地有趣的历史以及让·拉菲特的传奇故事巧妙结合,调制出了口感绝佳的纯饮酒品,还有超赞的调酒配料可供选择。
我们总不能空手而归吧,于是买了一瓶“让·拉菲特酒会火药朗姆酒”,一些具有收藏价值的鸡尾酒卡片,还有只有在那里才能买到的品酒杯。这绝对是一次满分10分的体验,远远超出了我们的所有期待!
