Great Bourbon and Rich History, But No Designated Driver Discount
Kentucky Peerless Distilling Co.的点评
点评:It was about an 8-minute walk for us from our hotel. We had booked a 75-minute behind-the-scenes Kentucky Peerless distiller tour three weeks in advance. As it turned out, there was no need to make a reservation; we were the only ones on it. The cost was $32 for an Adult (ages 21+) and $20 for a Veteran. Disappointingly, they do not offer a discount for adults who do not drink or are designated drivers.
Although they recommend arriving 10 to 15 minutes before the tour, we arrived just five minutes before our scheduled time. They did not start the tour until about 10 minutes after the scheduled time, presumably hoping more people would show up.
While on the tour, we learned about the history of the company, which originally started in Henderson, Kentucky, back in 1889. We even met Corky Taylor, the great-grandson of the original owner, Henry Kraver. Corky and his son, Carson, reopened the business in downtown Louisville in 2015. We also learned about the company's historically significant Distilled Spirits Plant permit number, DSP-KY-50, which was originally granted in 1889. The best part of the tour was the rye whiskey and bourbon tasting at the end. Because they don not have a bar on the property, the tour is the only way to taste their products at the distillery.
翻译:从我们住的酒店步行大约8分钟即可到达。我们提前三周预订了肯塔基州Peerless酒厂的幕后参观之旅,时长75分钟。结果发现根本不需要预订,因为那天只有我们两个人。成人(21岁及以上)票价为32美元,退伍军人票价为20美元。令人失望的是,他们不为不喝酒的成人或指定驾驶员提供折扣。
虽然他们建议提前10到15分钟到达,但我们只提前了5分钟。他们大约在预定时间10分钟后才开始参观,大概是希望有更多的人来。
参观过程中,我们了解了这家公司的历史,它最初于1889年在肯塔基州亨德森市成立。我们甚至还见到了创始人亨利·克雷弗的曾孙科基·泰勒。科基和他的儿子卡森于2015年在路易斯维尔市中心重新开张了这家酒厂。我们还了解到该公司具有重要历史意义的蒸馏酒厂许可证编号DSP-KY-50,该许可证最初于1889年颁发。参观中最精彩的部分是最后的黑麦威士忌和波本威士忌品鉴。由于酒厂内没有酒吧,参观是品尝他们产品的唯一途径。
