今天,我們將帶您瞭解威士忌,或者我們更願意稱之爲“生命之水”。告別愛丁堡,我們將前往蘇格蘭最具標誌性的觀景點之一:福斯橋觀景臺。這三座橋樑分別於1890年、1964年和2017年開放,儘管風格各異,卻奇妙地相得益彰。
我們向西北方向駛去斯特靈,這座古老的城市裏,蘇格蘭的歷史迴響在古老的街道上回蕩。雄偉的斯特靈城堡是這座城市的標誌性建築,從城堡上可以欣賞到周圍令人歎爲觀止的景色。我們停下來拍攝城堡的照片,並思考它見證過的無數戰役。之後,我們繼續前往格蘭高因酒廠,這是一家位於高地、風景如畫的釀酒廠。在格蘭高因酒廠之旅中,我們將探索大麥、水和酵母如何神奇地轉化爲威士忌。一邊品嚐兩杯醇厚果香的威士忌,一邊瞭解蘇格蘭最慢的蒸餾器是如何運作的。接下來,我們將驅車前往風景秀麗的羅蒙湖畔,在巴爾馬哈享用美味的酒吧午餐。我們建議您在前往第二家釀酒廠之前,先步行前往俯瞰湖泊的觀景點。迪安斯頓酒廠位於泰斯河畔,由一座棉紡廠改造而成,生產一些風味獨特的威士忌。通過快速瞭解蒸餾過程的一些主要部分,您將有機會體驗到更佳的品鑑感受。
經過一個輕鬆的下午,您帶着新的發現離開迪安斯頓釀酒廠。威士忌不僅僅是一種飲品,更是一種體驗,一種與土地、工藝和歷史的聯結。這些美好的感受將一路伴您穿過斯特靈和鬱鬱蔥蔥的鄉村,最終抵達愛丁堡。您大約在下午6點15分返回愛丁堡。
Today, you're going to find out about whisky or as we like to call it, "uisge-beatha"- 'the water of life'. Say goodbye to Edinburgh as we head towards one of Scotland's most iconic viewpoints:
the Forth Bridges Viewpoint. Opened in 1890, 1964, and 2017, these three bridges - despite their differences - oddly complement each other.
We head northwest towards
Stirling, a city where the echoes of Scotland's past resonate through its ancient streets. Dominated by the impressive Stirling Castle, the town offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. We stop for a photo of the castle and ponder over the many battles it has witnessed. We continue our journey to Glengoyne, a Highland distillery with a picturesque setting.
Discover the magical process of turning barley, water, and yeast into whisky on Glengoyne Distillery tour. Learn how the slowest stills in Scotland do their thing whilst savouring two drams of their rich and fruity whisky.
Next, we take a scenic drive to the shores of Loch Lomond for a tasty pub lunch in Balmaha. We recommend a short walk to the viewpoint overlooking the loch before heading towards the second distillery.
Deanston Distillery is a converted cotton mill on the banks of the River Teith that produces some unique whisky flavours. You've got a chance to experience the enhanced tasting with a quick look at some of the main parts of the distillation process.
After a relaxed afternoon, you leave Deanston Distillery with a new discovery. Whisky is not just a drink; it's an experience, a connection to the land, the craftsmanship, and history. Those thoughts will keep you warm all the way past Stirling and the lush countryside to Edinburgh.
You return to Edinburgh at approximately 6.15pm.
