点评:The Balvenie Distillery experience was very informative and provided information that was very educational and confirmed some notions that I had about some of their operations. Our host for my group was very experienced with distillation process as a long-time employee. Balvenie is one the few distilleries left that are still privately owned, grow their own barley and make their own barrels for their single malt whiskies. The Balvenie tour is one of the harder scotch events to attend since you need to book month(s) in advance depending on the time of year, but well worth the effort!
Best of all, their tasting room on the premises is a very nice backdrop to settle in and taste the quality (nose, palate and finish) of their American oak, various sherry, rum and port casks and double maturation sample selection of drams to be offered. Guided by your knowledgeable host, the nuances are explained between the selections as you discover how each dram compares and which best appeal to the senses from one the finest distilleries in the entire region of Speyside!
翻译:百富酒厂的参观体验非常丰富,提供的信息极具教育意义,也印证了我之前对他们运营的一些了解。我们团的导游是一位经验丰富的蒸馏工艺专家,他曾在酒厂工作多年。百富是为数不多的仍然保持私有制、种植自家大麦并自制单一麦芽威士忌酒桶的酒厂之一。百富酒厂的参观行程比较难安排,需要提前几个月预订(具体时间取决于季节),但绝对值得!
最棒的是,酒厂内的品鉴室环境优美,让人可以静下心来品尝他们提供的美国橡木桶、各种雪莉桶、朗姆酒桶和波特酒桶陈酿的威士忌,以及双重熟成威士忌的精选样品,感受其卓越的品质(香气、口感和余韵)。在知识渊博的主人的指导下,您将了解每款威士忌之间的细微差别,并发现每款威士忌的比较情况,以及哪一款最能打动您的感官,这些威士忌均来自斯佩塞地区最好的酿酒厂之一!
