点评:We recently made a stop at Muddy River Distillery in Mount Holly, NC, after hearing about their unique rum offerings. While the distillery exudes a charming, rustic vibe and the staff were welcoming, our experience was a bit of a mixed bag.
Tasting Experience:
We were a bit disappointed to learn that tastings are only offered during their Saturday tours, which run from 1:00 PM to 3:15 PM . This wasn’t clear to us beforehand, and we had hoped for a more flexible tasting schedule. However, the bartender was kind enough to offer us a flight to share, which we appreciated.
Standout Spirits:
The highlight of our visit was the Banana Liqueur. Its sweet, tropical flavor was a delightful surprise, and we ended up purchasing a couple of bottles to take home. The other rums we sampled were decent, but none stood out as exceptional.
Atmosphere:
The distillery itself is beautifully set in a historic mill, offering a cozy and inviting atmosphere. However, during our visit, the place was quite empty, which might have been due to the early hour.
Final Thoughts:
While our experience had its ups and downs, the friendly staff and the standout Banana Liqueur made the visit worthwhile. If you’re planning a trip, consider going on a Saturday to take full advantage of the tastings and tours.
翻译:最近,我们听说了北卡罗来纳州芒特霍利的泥河酿酒厂 (Muddy River Distillery) 独特的朗姆酒,于是决定去那里看看。虽然酿酒厂散发着迷人的乡村气息,工作人员也热情好客,但我们的体验却好坏参半。
品酒体验:
我们有点失望地得知,品酒活动只在周六下午 1:00 至 3:15 的导览游期间提供。我们事先并不清楚这一点,原本希望品酒时间能更灵活一些。不过,调酒师很好心地提供了一张航班供我们分享,我们对此表示感谢。
特色烈酒:
我们这次参观的亮点是香蕉利口酒。它甜美的热带风味令人惊喜,我们最后买了几瓶带回家。我们品尝的其他朗姆酒也都不错,但没有一款能脱颖而出。
氛围:
酿酒厂坐落在一座历史悠久的磨坊中,环境优美,温馨宜人。然而,我们参观期间,可能是因为时间太早,店内空无一人。
结语:
虽然我们的体验有好有坏,但友好的员工和令人惊艳的香蕉利口酒让这次参观物有所值。如果您计划旅行,不妨考虑周六前往,充分利用品酒和参观的机会。
