点评:We arrived a little early because we were from out of town and had no idea what traffic was like and didn't want to be late. We were greeted by Whitney and sat at the bar while she prepped for the 1pm tour. She asked about out knowledge of BSC (Which was not much beyond website), she gave us some background and then offered us a few tasting of some of the many products that wouldn't be covered on the tour. When it came tour time I was excited, Whitney gather the group and shared the Welcome punch with us while she gave us a bit of a History lesson on Maryland Rye and on Baltimore Spirits Company.
Then off to the tour, where she talked to us about the entire process from the Mash composition, fermentation, Distilling, and aging in the barrels. Whitney was very knowledgeable on the process and answered a lot of questions; including some she said they don't very often. I have been on a lot of Distillery tours and this ranks among the top; but alas now it is time for the part I really came for,.
Blending your own whiskey out of 4 base spirits provided was a pretty cool experience. I went conservative on % numbers but it still took a while as I tried several variations, I used the ML measurements on the dropper to facilitate my blending %'s.
The overall experience was fantastic and I'd totally do another one just to try other custom blends. The only thing I would say they can do better on is to make sure that it is advertised that your Custom Bottle is not a typical 750ml bottle it's only a 375ml, still a heck of a deal for what you get.
翻译:我们来得有点早,因为我们来自外地,不知道交通状况如何,也不想迟到。我们受到了惠特尼的欢迎,她坐在酒吧里为下午 1 点的巡演做准备。她询问了关于 BSC 的知识(除了网站之外的知识),她给了我们一些背景知识,然后让我们品尝了一些旅游中没有涵盖的许多产品。巡演时间到了,我很兴奋,惠特尼召集了团队并与我们分享了欢迎酒,同时她给我们上了一些关于马里兰黑麦和巴尔的摩烈酒公司的历史课。
然后去参观,在那里她向我们讲述了从麦芽浆的组成、发酵、蒸馏和桶中陈酿的整个过程。惠特尼对这个过程非常了解并回答了很多问题;包括一些她说他们不经常这样做的人。我参加过很多酒厂之旅,这是名列前茅的;但可惜现在是我真正想要的部分的时候了。
从提供的 4 种基本烈酒中混合您自己的威士忌是一种非常酷的体验。我对 % 数字持保守态度,但在我尝试多种变体时仍然需要一段时间,我使用滴管上的 ML 测量值来促进我混合 %。
整体体验非常棒,我完全会再做一次,只是为了尝试其他定制混合。我唯一要说的是,他们可以做得更好的是确保宣传您的 Custom Bottle 不是典型的 750 毫升瓶子,它只有 375 毫升,对于您所得到的来说仍然很划算。
