Es war insgesamt ein bisschen hektisch, aber trotzdem schön. Ein netter, kurzweiliger Ausflug, den man auch mal bei schlechterem Wetter machen kann

Die Führung war recht hektisch, man wurde schnell durchgeschleust,auf spezielle Fragen bzgl Anzahl der Flaschen des Captain Kidd konnte man keine Antwort geben. Die Dame welche die Führung gemacht hatte war bei dem Tasting recht schnell verschwunden. Haben den Captain Kidd und den 19 jährigen Single Cask für je 7 Euro probiert. Der Captain Kidd war für seine 30 Jahre OK. Der Single Cask mit seinen 19 Jahren war dafür das er in Sherry Fässern gelagert wurde recht scharf und mit 160 Euro zu teuer.

Ist eine super Führung und extrem spannend. Auch das Tasting war super. Leider wurde die Führung auf englisch mit einem sehr starkem Akzent gehalten, sodass wir manchmal Schwierigkeiten hatten bei der Lautstärke den Guide richtig zu verstehen, obwohl wir ansonsten nie Probleme mit der englischen Sprache hatten.
