点评:It certainly was beautiful, and the guides were nice.
We were there for barely an hour which was understandable. Basically it was a lovely old church with distilling pots on one end and a small shop at the other.
If consider 17 pounds per person (at a booking site) for tasting 3 small glasses of whiskey and 1 gin, maybe it was reasonable. But if you want really want to learn about whiskey making, I'm not so sure this would be the best one. Despite not being much of a whiskey drinker, I have visited multiple distilleries in Scotland and Japan. Usually you get to see the barley in various stages, like when it just looks like grain, when it's ground into flour/grist, turned mashy etc. You can smell it all around you.
Not here. It's probably mostly automated, so there was no smell. We didn't see any barley except in a little container to be shown to us.
In order to add more time to the tour, the guide took us around the church, showing the old graves, which was interesting, though it was a bit cold.
To kill some time and have a little taste of Whiskey, not bad. Not for really learning about Irish Whiskey making.
翻译:那里的确很美,导游也很友善。
我们在那里只待了一个小时左右,这也可以理解。基本上,它就是一座漂亮的古老教堂,一端是蒸馏器,另一端是个小商店。
如果考虑到每人17英镑(通过预订网站预订)品尝三小杯威士忌和一杯金酒,或许还算合理。但如果你真的想了解威士忌的制作过程,我不太确定这里是否是最佳选择。虽然我不太爱喝威士忌,但我参观过苏格兰和日本的多家酿酒厂。通常情况下,你可以看到大麦的不同生长阶段,比如它最初看起来像谷粒的时候,磨成面粉/麦芽粉,变成麦芽浆等等。你还能闻到各种麦芽的香味。
但这里不一样。它可能大部分都是自动化生产的,所以闻不到任何气味。除了导游给我们展示的一个小容器之外,我们没有看到任何大麦。
为了延长参观时间,导游带我们绕着教堂走了一圈,给我们看了古老的墓碑,挺有意思的,就是有点冷。
消磨时间,顺便尝尝威士忌,还不错。但要说真正了解爱尔兰威士忌的酿造工艺,那就没什么意义了。
