点评:My wife and I took a flyer on Corsair, because we had seen their bottles in stores, but weren’t ready to pull the trigger because we weren’t ever sure if we would even like it. We couldn’t have been more wrong. Admission for two was a reasonable $50, and what we assumed would be a large group tour, ended up being an amazing near-private experience with our tour guide, Mitch.
Mitch was absolutely incredible. He walked us over to the distilling room, where he explained how their bespoke process works, Corsair’s distilling philosophy, and proudly showed off Ethyl, their 100+ year-old pot still.
Once we got back to the tasting room, and after our first taste, we immediately regretted not trying Corsair years ago. Mitch did a great job explaining to us how each gin, whiskey, absinthe, rum, and rye are created. He also had an answer for all of our questions - feel free to ask away. Finally, we headed to their bar, where my wife had a drink called the “Easy, Breezy, Caprese,” made with their American Gin, and I was able to roll a D-20 to let fate decide what drink I would try. I rolled a 4 and landed on a Bee’s Knees, made with their Barreled Gin - a new favorite of ours.
When you book your tour, be sure to ask for Mitch. He loves what he does and truly shows he’s passionate about it.
翻译:我和妻子抱着试试看的心态去了Corsair酒厂,因为我们之前在商店里见过他们的酒瓶,但一直没下手,因为我们不确定自己是否会喜欢。结果证明我们完全错了。两人门票只要50美元,价格合理。我们原本以为会是大型旅行团,结果却意外地享受到了近乎私人的体验,导游是Mitch。
Mitch简直太棒了。他带我们去了蒸馏室,详细讲解了他们独特的酿造工艺、Corsair的蒸馏理念,还自豪地向我们展示了他们那台拥有百年历史的蒸馏器——Ethyl。
回到品酒室,品尝了第一口之后,我们立刻后悔没有早点尝试Corsair。Mitch非常专业地向我们讲解了每款金酒、威士忌、苦艾酒、朗姆酒和黑麦酒的制作过程。而且,他还能解答我们所有的问题——欢迎大家踊跃提问。最后,我们去了他们的酒吧。我妻子点了一杯名为“轻松惬意卡普雷塞”(Easy, Breezy, Caprese)的鸡尾酒,是用他们家的美国金酒调制的。而我则掷了一个20面骰子,让命运决定我要尝试哪款酒。我掷出了4点,点到了“蜜蜂之膝”(Bee’s Knees),是用他们家的桶装金酒调制的——这成了我们新的心头好。
预订行程时,一定要找米奇(Mitch)。他热爱自己的工作,并且对这份工作充满热情。
