点评:I prefer a milder whisky and a tour of Speyside whisky distilleries had been on my bucket list for years and was lucky to be given a weekend trip by my family as a Christmas present.
The itinerary for our tour was arranged by Calum who was a marvellous choice as our guide and driver, he loves whisky and obviously knows a lot about the subject which he freely shared with us. Our conversations whilst driving around the beautiful Speyside countryside covered many aspects of the whisky industry, its history and problems, all with a lot of laughs.
The schedule revolved around the timings of organised tours at various distilleries, but between these Calum would take us to look at other distilleries, many of which aren’t open to the public so that we could see their very varied layouts, size of operations, and some interesting architecture. We visited a wide range of distilleries, from a very new one that hasn’t yet produced a finished whisky, to some older ones we knew of, some we didn’t, and Calum even slotted in an extra visit to a newish distillery as he thought we would enjoy the whiskies they were producing, we certainly did.
A fabulous couple of days.
翻译:我更喜欢口味淡一点的威士忌,参观斯佩塞威士忌酿酒厂多年来一直是我的愿望清单,很幸运我的家人给了我一次周末旅行作为圣诞礼物。
我们的行程由 Calum 安排,他是一位出色的导游兼司机,他热爱威士忌,显然对威士忌非常了解,并乐于与我们分享。我们在斯佩塞美丽的乡村开车时,聊到了威士忌行业的许多方面、它的历史和问题,笑声不断。
行程安排围绕各个酿酒厂的有组织旅游时间展开,但在这期间,Calum 会带我们参观其他酿酒厂,其中许多酿酒厂不对外开放,因此我们可以看到它们非常多样化的布局、运营规模和一些有趣的建筑。我们参观了各种各样的酿酒厂,从尚未生产出成品威士忌的新酿酒厂,到一些我们知道的老酿酒厂,还有一些我们不知道的,Calum 甚至还额外安排了一次参观,参观了一家较新的酿酒厂,因为他认为我们会喜欢他们生产的威士忌,我们确实喜欢。
非常棒的几天。
