点评:By far the best distillery tour in Ireland. Cost is 47 euros and takes almost two hours to complete.
Our tour guide Frankie started off by shaking everyone’s hand in our group and learning our names. And surprisingly he was able to get them all correct when asking us questions. He then made us an Irish coffee and told the history behind the drink. He had us all laughing and kept us engaged. His passion and enthusiasm really shines through during the tour. Next is a walk through the pots before Ray drove us over to the storehouse to check out the aging whiskey in their barrels. We got a quick taste of cask strength in the snug before the main tasting began. Ray was lovely. Engaging with us in the little time we spent with him. Frankie finished our tour with the tasting of three different bottles. The 12yr was by far the favorite. Frankie is a true gentleman always serving the ladies first and holding the doors, making sure everyone came through before starting again.
Don’t miss this tour when you’re in the country. Book it and ask for Frankie, you won’t be disappointed.
翻译:毫无疑问,这是爱尔兰最棒的酿酒厂参观体验。费用为47欧元,整个参观过程耗时近两小时。
我们的导游弗兰基首先与团里的每个人握手并记住了我们的名字。令人惊讶的是,后来他提问时能准确无误地叫出每个人的名字。接着他为我们制作了爱尔兰咖啡,并讲述了这种饮品的历史渊源。他逗得我们哈哈大笑,让整个参观过程趣味横生。在整个参观过程中,他的热情与投入也展现得淋漓尽致。接下来,我们参观了那些酒桶。随后雷开车带我们去仓库,查看桶中陈年的威士忌。在正式品鉴开始前,我们还在小酒馆里浅尝了一下原桶强度的威士忌。雷人非常好,在我们相处的短暂时光里热情地与我们互动。最后,弗兰基带领我们完成了整个参观流程,并让我们品尝了三种不同品牌的威士忌。其中12年陈酿的威士忌最受欢迎。弗兰基真是个十足的绅士,总是先为女士们服务,还会贴心地为她们开门。确保每个人都安全通过后,才重新开始。
在肯尼亚时千万别错过这个旅游项目。提前预订并点名要弗兰基做导游,您一定不会失望的。
