点评:We had the great good fortune of taking a tour and being the only two there. That gave us all the time to speak with David Meyer, owner and head distiller and pick his brain about all things bourbon. The fascinating thing about Dave is that he has learned so much and has made such great bourbon, all on his own. He is totally self-taught and knows so much because he has learned it all by actually doing; by experimenting with everything and not just accepting conventional wisdom. He knows things because he has seen them, done them, tried different things, and messed things up himself. He has no vanity, just a great desire to learn and do better which I admire and can identify with. He is willing to share what he knows, answer questions, and explain things, in our case this time, by showing, and letting us taste. We did several tours and easily learned the most about making bourbon on this tour. If you want the nicest or newest place, this is not what you are looking for but if you want the best place, this could be the place to be!
翻译:我们非常幸运地参加了这次参观,而且是现场仅有的两个人。这让我们有充足的时间与酒庄老板兼首席酿酒师David Meyer交流,并向他请教关于波本威士忌的一切。Dave的迷人之处在于他学识渊博,并且独自酿造出如此出色的波本威士忌。他完全自学成才,之所以如此博学,是因为他通过实践学习;通过尝试各种方法,而不是仅仅接受传统观念。他之所以了解事物,是因为他亲眼目睹、亲手实践、尝试过不同的方法,并且亲身经历过各种尝试。他没有虚荣心,只有强烈的学习欲望和不断进取的渴望,我钦佩他,也感同身受。他乐于分享他的知识,解答问题,并为我们讲解,这次他通过展示和品尝来帮助我们。我们参加了几次参观,在这次参观中,我们轻松地学到了最丰富的波本威士忌酿造知识。如果你想要最好的或最新的波本威士忌,这里可能不是你想要的;但如果你想要最好的,这里或许就是你想要的!
