点评:Arrived to Bladnoch Distillery via the 1004 bus from Wigtown. It was highly recommended by the Scottish locals in the town. After my visit, I agree with them. I arrived an hour early for my 1100 tour. Fortunately for me, I was able to enjoy the in house cafe, which serves hot drinks and baked goods.
The friendly tour guide, Innes, asked a couple questions ahead of time to better get to know us. Then during the tour, he emphasized information of interest and different facts based on the interests of the folks on the tour including me. The on fly briefing change to cater to his audience highlights how Innes is very knowledgeable about the craft. Very thorough yet entertaining short lecture on the facilities, history of whiskey in Scotland, Bradloch, and their current stock. Later on during the tastings, he recommended to each of us what we preferred after the set tasting list and seeing our preferences.
While I arrived by bus, if the weather was nicer it would have been an easy walk from Wigtown. The return bus is at 1216, so if you’re taking public transit, time your tour time around that. If you’re driving, there are plenty of parking spaces at the location.
It was an enjoyable trip regardless of the poor weather. 10/10 recommend stopping into one of the oldest whiskey distilleries in Scotland for a taste, a tour and a terribly good time.
翻译:我从威格敦乘坐10:04路公交车抵达布拉德诺赫酒厂。当地苏格兰人强烈推荐这家酒厂,参观之后,我完全同意他们的说法。我提前一个小时到达,参加11:00的参观团。幸运的是,我还能享用酒厂内的咖啡馆,那里供应热饮和烘焙食品。
友好的导游伊内斯事先问了我们几个问题,以便更好地了解我们。参观过程中,他根据包括我在内的所有游客的兴趣,重点讲解了不同的信息和知识。他根据游客情况随时调整讲解内容,这充分体现了他对威士忌酿造工艺的精通。他对酒厂设施、苏格兰威士忌的历史、布拉德洛赫酒厂以及他们目前的库存进行了详尽而又生动的讲解。之后在品鉴环节,他根据我们每个人的喜好,在品尝了酒单后,为我们推荐了我们最喜欢的威士忌。
虽然我是乘公交车来的,但如果天气好的话,从威格敦步行过去也很方便。返程巴士是12:16发车,所以如果您乘坐公共交通,请将游览时间安排在巴士发车前后。如果您自驾,酒厂附近有很多停车位。
尽管天气不好,但这次旅行仍然非常愉快。强烈推荐您去苏格兰最古老的威士忌酒厂之一,品尝美酒,参观酒厂,享受一段美好的时光(满分10分)。
