点评:This quaint little town has a lot of charm and the Hochatown Distilling Company adds to the allure. To sign up for the tour, enter the gift shop, where you’ll be greeted with vibrant and engaging locals who are knowledgeable, helpful, and lovely. Don’t discount this shop, sure there’s a bar in the back but the little shop has high quality gifts (not just full bottles of the samples from your tour) to satisfy most ages (even the little ones).
The tour itself is approximately 2 hours (give or take the size of the group). Our guide was truly a passionate and well traveled Whisky guru who clearly enjoys his trade. Despite being December, we had a bout of very warm weather and were satisfyingly greeted with the aroma of barrels who thought they were in a summer swelter. Good hint for folks, if you enjoy Whisky/Bourbon, warmer months offer best experiences.
Once completing the educational “how to make Whisky, how to store and bottle Whisky” you’ll head over to the hidden speak easy for a secluded, small group experience.
For context, I’m 43 and my husband is 53. Our kids are grown and we both enjoy Whisky and Scotch. We’ve traveled to Scotland and all over Europe having experienced Whiskey, Beer, etc in their native lands in a similar fashion. It’s truly such a joy to find the same fervor here at “home”. Well worth a stop and slow down for a minute.
翻译:这个古朴的小镇魅力十足,霍查顿酿酒公司更是锦上添花。想要报名参加参观,可以先到礼品店看看,那里热情友好的当地人会热情地接待你,他们知识渊博、乐于助人,而且非常可爱。千万别小瞧这家店,虽然后面有个酒吧,但这家小店里出售的都是高品质的礼品(不仅仅是参观时品尝的整瓶酒),足以满足大多数年龄段的需求(甚至包括小朋友)。
参观本身大约需要2个小时(具体时间会根据团队人数有所调整)。我们的导游是一位真正热爱威士忌、见多识广的专家,显然他非常享受自己的工作。虽然是12月,但我们遇到了一阵温暖的天气,酒桶里弥漫着令人愉悦的香气,仿佛置身于盛夏的酷暑之中。友情提示:如果你喜欢威士忌/波本威士忌,温暖的月份是最佳的品鉴体验。
完成“如何酿造威士忌、如何储存和装瓶威士忌”的课程后,您将前往一家隐秘的地下酒吧,享受私密的、小团体的专属体验。
作为参考,我今年43岁,我丈夫53岁。我们的孩子都已长大成人,我们都喜欢威士忌和苏格兰威士忌。我们曾到访苏格兰和欧洲各地,以类似的方式体验过威士忌、啤酒等酒类的原产地风情。能在“家乡”找到同样的热情,真是令人欣喜。非常值得您驻足片刻,放慢脚步,细细品味。
