行程概述
清晨,您从阿伯丁出发,穿越凯恩戈姆山国家公园广袤的山丘。这里是苏格兰最迷人的地区之一,也是珍稀山地植物和其他野生动物的重要栖息地。之后,我们抵达科加夫,在那里您可以漫步前往科加夫城堡。这座城堡曾是贵族府邸,18世纪时被改建为军事基地。城堡引人注目的白色外墙和令人惊叹的星形山峰,是绝佳的拍照地点。
徒步之后,您精神焕发,继续深入国家公园,途经科克布里奇和托明图尔。这条传奇公路经常迎来冬季的第一场雪,并穿越当地人称为莱赫特的山口。在这段令人难忘的路线上,您将有充足的时间拍照留念。之后,您将前往威士忌的故乡——斯佩塞地区。在这里,您可以在威士忌城堡稍作停留,参加可选的威士忌品鉴课程和午餐。这家威士忌酒馆拥有超过120年的历史,出售最优质的麦芽威士忌,库存超过600种麦芽威士忌,是威士忌爱好者的天堂。
接下来,我们将前往风景秀丽的莫雷郡,这里拥有迷人的海岸风光、历史悠久的酿酒厂和丰富的户外探险活动。我们将前往斯佩塞制桶厂,这家苏格兰著名的威士忌酒桶制造商将带您领略苏格兰橡木桶的历史。从成型到烘烤,您将在这个至今仍沿用许多传统工艺的迷人之地,学习这项拥有5000年历史的制桶工艺的奥秘。
接下来,您将前往卡杜酒厂(Cardhu Distillery),这是由海伦·卡明(Helen Cumming)创立的第一家女性酒厂。如今,卡杜威士忌是尊尼获加黑牌威士忌中最重要的基酒。卡杜酒厂历经200年的发展,从最初的一片不起眼的农田,发展成为如今享誉全球的斯佩塞麦芽威士忌酒厂。开启一段味蕾之旅,最后品尝三杯威士忌和一杯高球鸡尾酒。离开卡杜酒厂时,您将对威士忌充满敬意,并在傍晚时分抵达阿伯丁。现在,是否继续您的威士忌品鉴之旅,就由您决定了。
您大约晚上7点返回阿伯丁。
You leave Aberdeen in the morning and travel through the vast hills of Cairngorms National Park, one of Scotland's most stunning areas and a vital habitat for rare mountain plants and other wildlife. We then arrive in Corgarff where you go for a little walk towards the Corgarff Castle, once a noble residence that in the 18th century was turned into a military base. Its striking white facade and incredible star formation make for epic photos.
Invigorated by the walk, you head deeper into the national park, as you travel past Cockbridge and Tomintoul. This legendary stretch of road regularly sees the first of the snowy winter weather and crosses the mountain pass known locally as the Lecht. You'll have plenty of time for photo opportunities on this unforgettable route. Then you delve into the home of whisky, the Speyside region. Here, you stop at the Whisky Castle for an optional tutor whisky tasting and lunch. This whisky emporium has been selling the finest malt whiskies for over 120 years and is stocking over 600 malts, so it's a real treasure trove for whisky lovers.
Next, we journey through the lovely County Moray, a region of coastal beauty, historic distilleries, and outdoor adventures. Enjoy beautiful views as we make our way to the Speyside Cooperage, a famous whisky barrel maker here in Scotland, where you'll get to know the history of Scotland's oak casks. From shaping to charring, learn the secrets of the craft that goes back 5,000 years in this fascinating place that still uses many traditional methods.
Then you head to Cardhu Distillery, the first distillery pioneered by a woman, Helen Cumming. Today, Cardhu is the most important whisky in Johnnie Walker's Black Label. Cardhu has come a long way in 200 years. It started as a humble piece of farmland and now creates a Speyside Malt whisky loved worldwide. Go on a flavour journey and finish up with three drams of whisky and a highball cocktail. You leave Cardhu full of appreciation for whisky and arrive in Aberdeen in the early evening. It's now up to you whether you continue the whisky tasting into the night.
You return to Aberdeen at approximately 7pm.
