点评:**A great bonded warehouse tour with an excellent guide**
I joined the “Bonded Tour with Chocolate Pairing” at Tullibardine Distillery and overall had a very enjoyable experience.
One of the highlights was getting to see whisky being drawn directly from a cask in the warehouse, which is something you do not often get to see during a distillery visit. I also had the chance to taste some of the whisky, and it was excellent.
Our guide, **Ian**, was fantastic. He was very friendly, patient and gave detailed explanations throughout the tour. He had even prepared some written information in Chinese for me, which was a very thoughtful touch and something I really appreciated.
There was a small and quite funny misunderstanding during the tour. I was trying to ask Ian about the meaning of a few English words he had used, but I think he understood it as me being unsure about the whisky-making process and started explaining the production process again. The Scottish accent probably did not make things any easier for me either! However, Ian was extremely patient throughout.
The only part that could be improved was the tasting. Considering this was the “Bonded Tour with Chocolate Pairing”, I felt the pours were a little small. I would also have preferred the warehouse experience to include a more substantial tasting directly connected to the cask or warehouse visit, rather than finishing with some of the standard range at the bar. A slightly more generous or distinctive warehouse tasting would have made the experience feel more special for the £42 price.
It was a very good visit. The opportunity to see whisky drawn from the cask was memorable, and Ian's patience, enthusiasm and detailed explanations made the tour particularly enjoyable.
翻译:**一次很棒的保税仓库参观之旅,导游也非常出色**
我参加了图利巴丁酿酒厂举办的“保税仓库参观暨巧克力品鉴之旅”,整体体验十分愉快。
其中最令人难忘的环节就是亲眼看到威士忌直接从仓库中的酒桶里流出,这种场景在一般的酿酒厂参观中可难得一见。我还有机会品尝了几款威士忌,味道都棒极了。
我们的导游**伊恩**表现得非常出色。他十分友善、亲切。他很有耐心,在整个参观过程中都做了详细的讲解。他甚至还为我准备了一些中文版的书面资料,这一贴心之举让我十分感激。
参观过程中发生了一个有点好笑的小误会。我本想向伊恩询问他所用的一些英文单词的含义,但我想他误以为我对威士忌的制作流程不太清楚,于是又开始重新讲解生产过程。苏格兰口音可能也让我的处境更加艰难吧!不过,伊恩始终极其耐心。
唯一可以改进的地方就是品鉴环节。既然这是一场“带巧克力配对的威士忌品鉴之旅”,我觉得每次倒出的酒量有点偏少。我还希望能在这次仓库之旅中加入与酒桶或仓库参观内容直接相关的、更为丰盛的品鉴环节,而不是最后只在吧台上品尝一些常规款型的威士忌。以42英镑的价格来计算,如果仓库品鉴环节能更慷慨一些或更具特色,整个体验肯定会显得更加特别。
这是一次非常愉快的参观体验。能亲眼看到威士忌从酒桶中倒出实在令人难忘,而伊恩的耐心、热情以及细致入微的讲解更是让整个游览过程乐趣无穷。
