行程概述
清晨,您從阿伯丁出發,穿越凱恩戈姆山國家公園廣袤的山丘。這裏是蘇格蘭最迷人的地區之一,也是珍稀山地植物和其他野生動物的重要棲息地。之後,我們抵達科加夫,在那裏您可以漫步前往科加夫城堡。這座城堡曾是貴族府邸,18世紀時被改建爲軍事基地。城堡引人注目的白色外牆和令人驚歎的星形山峯,是絕佳的拍照地點。
徒步之後,您精神煥發,繼續深入國家公園,途經科克布里奇和託明圖爾。這條傳奇公路經常迎來冬季的第一場雪,並穿越當地人稱爲萊赫特的山口。在這段令人難忘的路線上,您將有充足的時間拍照留念。之後,您將前往威士忌的故鄉——斯佩塞地區。在這裏,您可以在威士忌城堡稍作停留,參加可選的威士忌品鑑課程和午餐。這家威士忌酒館擁有超過120年的歷史,出售最優質的麥芽威士忌,庫存超過600種麥芽威士忌,是威士忌愛好者的天堂。
接下來,我們將前往風景秀麗的莫雷郡,這裏擁有迷人的海岸風光、歷史悠久的釀酒廠和豐富的戶外探險活動。我們將前往斯佩塞制桶廠,這家蘇格蘭著名的威士忌酒桶製造商將帶您領略蘇格蘭橡木桶的歷史。從成型到烘烤,您將在這個至今仍沿用許多傳統工藝的迷人之地,學習這項擁有5000年曆史的制桶工藝的奧祕。
接下來,您將前往卡杜酒廠(Cardhu Distillery),這是由海倫·卡明(Helen Cumming)創立的第一家女性酒廠。如今,卡杜威士忌是尊尼獲加黑牌威士忌中最重要的基酒。卡杜酒廠歷經200年的發展,從最初的一片不起眼的農田,發展成爲如今享譽全球的斯佩塞麥芽威士忌酒廠。開啓一段味蕾之旅,最後品嚐三杯威士忌和一杯高球雞尾酒。離開卡杜酒廠時,您將對威士忌充滿敬意,並在傍晚時分抵達阿伯丁。現在,是否繼續您的威士忌品鑑之旅,就由您決定了。
您大約晚上7點返回阿伯丁。
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.
