点评:This was one of the best distillery or brewery trips I have ever experienced.
The location of the distillery at the moment is on the outskirts of Whitby on a small industrial estate and we got a taxi from the rank at Whitby railway station which took five minutes (all uphill) to get there. After the tour we walked back into Whitby (downhill) which took about twenty minutes. There is limited car parking outside but other places to park just round the corner.
The tour guide was a lovely lady called Annie who was very welcoming, friendly, informative and very proud and passionate of the local area and also the distillery where she works.
There were 12 people on the tour when we visited which was just about the right amount. The tour takes place in the heart of a working distillery and you are surrounded by the equipment that makes the products.
The welcome gin drink is served with either lemonade or tonic with a slice of grapefruit and garnish. Soft drinks are available for car drivers or non drinkers on the tour who also get a miniature bottle to drink when they return home or give to someone who does drink.
The starter gin drink is leisurely consumed while you sit and enjoy the tour guide explaining how the company started to their exciting future plans to relocate very shortly to premises under construction next to Whitby Abbey.
Also explaining how local products are used in the products and the process to make them.
You then move across the distillery to the rum station to sample two different rums which were both lovely.
When the tour concludes after 90 minutes or so you get to keep your glass tumbler which the host wraps for you. There is also 10% off for visitors on the tour when buying in the small store which sells all the companies range.
A fantastic way to spend part of the afternoon supporting a genuine small English company with great ethics and intentions and proud of the local heritage and culture.
翻译:这绝对是我体验过的最棒的酿酒厂或啤酒厂之旅之一。
这家酿酒厂目前位于惠特比郊外的一个小型工业区内。我们从惠特比火车站的出租车候客点搭乘出租车,五分钟(全程上坡)就到了。参观结束后,我们步行返回惠特比镇中心(下坡),大约花了二十分钟。酒厂外停车位有限,但拐角处还有其他停车位。
导游是一位名叫安妮的可爱女士,她热情友好,知识渊博,对当地以及她工作的这家酿酒厂都充满自豪和热情。
我们参观时,团里有12个人,人数刚刚好。参观地点位于酿酒厂的核心区域,您将被各种酿酒设备环绕。
迎宾饮品是金酒,配以柠檬水或汤力水,并附赠一片西柚和装饰。参观过程中,我们会为驾车人士或不喝酒的游客提供软饮,并赠送一小瓶酒,方便他们回家后享用或送给喜欢喝酒的朋友。
您可以悠闲地品尝开胃的杜松子酒,同时聆听导游讲解公司的创立历程以及即将搬迁至惠特比修道院旁正在建设的新址的激动人心的未来计划。
导游还会讲解产品中使用的当地食材以及制作工艺。
之后,您将前往朗姆酒品鉴区,品尝两种不同的朗姆酒,味道都非常棒。
参观大约90分钟后结束,您可以带走导游为您包装好的玻璃杯。此外,参观者在小商店购物时可享受九折优惠,商店出售公司全线产品。
这是一个绝佳的下午时光,您可以支持一家秉持高尚道德和远见卓识、以当地传统文化为傲的英国本土小型企业。
