点评:I was given the tour as a Christmas gift and was excited to visit a local distillery. I tried to book online but had trouble with the website, however I emailed and was able to book that way.
We were greeted in the shop, which stocks all the whiskey, gin and rum(yes rum) which I knew we'd visit at the end.
The tasting room's focal point was the log burner, a beautiful touch.
The tour began in the distillery and Dave shared his wealth of knowledge and experience whilst explaining the processes for all 3 spirits. Next into the warehouse and the explanation of barrels and flavouring was brilliant too.
My favourite part was trying the Shining Cliff gin, both neat and with tonic. The exploration of botanicals chosen was insightful. We then tried the rum, paired excellently with ginger ale and then the Wireworks signature whiskey.
A lovely experience and I'd definitely recommend.
Of course, we stopped in the shop. I treated us to their Spiced gin. Citrus gin also available. 😉
翻译:我收到了一份圣诞礼物——参观酒厂之旅,非常兴奋。我尝试在线预订,但网站出了点问题,不过我发了邮件,最终还是成功预订了。
我们在商店里受到了热情接待,店里摆满了各种威士忌、金酒和朗姆酒(没错,就是朗姆酒!),我知道我们最后肯定会品尝这些酒。
品酒室的亮点是燃木壁炉,真是个巧妙的设计。
参观从酒厂开始,Dave 为我们讲解了这三种酒的酿造工艺,分享了他丰富的知识和经验。接下来参观了仓库,他对酒桶和调味的讲解也非常精彩。
我最喜欢的部分是品尝 Shining Cliff 金酒,纯饮和加汤力水都尝试了不同的口味。他对所选植物原料的讲解也很有启发性。之后我们品尝了朗姆酒,搭配姜汁汽水味道绝佳,最后还品尝了 Wireworks 的招牌威士忌。
这是一次非常棒的体验,我强烈推荐。
当然,我们最后还是去了商店。我请我们喝了他们家的香料金酒。他们家也有柑橘金酒。😉
