点评:We schedule our visit several months in advance which included eating at the onsite restaurant. Upon arrival we're told the upstairs was closed for a private event. The staff was cold and distant and seemed put off that we were a bit upset that our appoint was not honored. To kill time until the scheduled tasting we look at the gift shop which was all we could do at this point.
However we tried to make the best of it and continued to the scheduled tasting after. Our guide seemed uneducated on bourbon and the tasting felt very rushed. Not to mention ever bourbon shared were the standard stuff you can find at any liquor store. After the tasting there was a historical outline museum of sorts that was self guided. Honestly felt like I was on some sort of cheesy high school field trip.
I was fan of the some of their bourbon prior to this but this experience put a pretty bad taste in all our mouths. Doubt I will ever spend and money of their products in the future.
翻译:我们提前几个月就预约了参观,还特意安排了在酒厂餐厅用餐。结果到了之后却被告知楼上因为私人活动不对外开放。工作人员态度冷淡疏离,似乎对我们因预约被取消而略感不满感到不耐烦。为了打发时间,我们只好逛了逛礼品店,因为当时也只能这样了。
不过,我们还是尽量让自己开心,之后继续参加了预定的品鉴活动。我们的品鉴师似乎对波本威士忌一窍不通,整个品鉴过程也显得非常仓促。更糟糕的是,他们提供的每一款波本威士忌都是那种在任何一家酒类商店都能买到的普通货色。品鉴结束后,我们参观了一个类似历史博物馆的自助游览区。说实话,感觉就像参加了一场俗气的高中生郊游。
在此之前,我挺喜欢他们家的一些波本威士忌,但这次的经历让我们所有人都非常失望。以后我恐怕再也不会买他们的产品了。
