点评:This may be one of the best distillery visits that I have experienced. An extraordinary setting overlooking Scapa Flow set the tone followed by a warm welcome by Paul. We were perhaps fortunate to only be a party of two but were privileged to have Paul share the history and workings of the distillery. I am not sure that I have had such a personal tour in the intimate surroundings while barley was being milled, wort drained from the mash to be fermented for 160 hours! We saw the ferment in various stages of maturation and observed the distillate - head, body and tail, being assessed by the distiller. The tasting was in the intimate surroundings of the Scapa Noust overlooking the sea. Everything thoroughly explained by Paul and by the end of our visit regretted not having signed up for the ‘voyage’ tour which would have had us contemplating life and the universe.
The ‘Journey’ tour at £30/head represented excellent value for money. This experience should be on the bucket list of every Orkney visitor. The distillery will transport you from Kirkwall of this is required!

每人30英镑的“旅程”之旅物超所值。这绝对是每位奥克尼群岛游客的必游之地。如果需要,酿酒厂会安排从柯克沃尔接送您!
