点评:If you stay in Edinburgh visiting Johnnie Walker is a must! It's such an iconic brand, and like every big iconic brand they have a great place to visit - and you don't have to care for whisky or alcohol, it's simply a place to educate, entertain and connect you with the product that made Scotland famous around the world!
Johnnie Walker isn't just the blended whisky but a lot of other individual brands owned by the same group, so even if you "don't care for blended whisky" all these blended whiskies naturally have to come from other single malts etc. so you can find plenty here on that end as well.
As to the tour itself - we absolutely loved it! It was fun, entertaining, there is a theatric portion about the company itself - respect to the lady that did it, so much fun and positive energy! - then the introduction to cocktail making, the Four Corners of Johnnie Walker and their contribution to the blends, and lastly the 2 free cocktails at the bar/or straight whisky - brilliant value.
Last but definitely not least, the starting point - where you fill out a little quiz on the computer and receive the colored bracelet that basically dictates what you receive later or is recommended to you to fir your personal preference - genius!!!
TIP: even though you finish the tour 2 drinks at the bar, I still highly recommend making a separate reservation for the 1820 Rooftop bar on the top floor at this Johnnie Walker location - at first I thought maybe drinks after drinks isn't the best idea but trust me it works out perfectly - there are small snacks here + excellent quality drinks, all 4 of us loved it!
翻译:如果你在爱丁堡逗留,参观尊尼获加酒厂绝对不容错过!这是一个极具标志性的品牌,就像所有知名品牌一样,他们也拥有一个非常棒的参观场所——即使你对威士忌或酒精不感兴趣,这里也是一个寓教于乐、让你了解并亲身感受这款令苏格兰闻名世界的佳酿的地方!
尊尼获加不仅仅指调和威士忌,它还拥有同一集团旗下的众多其他品牌。所以,即使你“不喜欢调和威士忌”,所有这些调和威士忌自然都是由其他单一麦芽威士忌调配而成,因此你在这里也能找到很多选择。
至于参观本身——我们非常喜欢!它既有趣又精彩,其中还有一段关于公司本身的戏剧表演——向那位表演者致敬,她带来了满满的乐趣和正能量!接下来是鸡尾酒调制入门,尊尼获加四大支柱及其对调配威士忌的贡献,最后是酒吧提供的两杯免费鸡尾酒/或纯威士忌——超值!
最后但同样重要的是,起点——你需要在电脑上填写一份小问卷,然后获得一个彩色手环,手环的颜色会决定你之后会享用什么,或者根据你的个人喜好为你推荐什么——真是绝妙!
小贴士:即使参观结束后在酒吧喝了两杯,我仍然强烈建议你单独预订这家尊尼获加门店顶楼的1820 Rooftop酒吧——起初我觉得一杯接一杯地喝可能不太好,但相信我,这绝对完美——那里有小食和品质上乘的酒水,我们四个人都非常喜欢!
