Dieses Erlebnis ist ein Multimedial-Event. Nicht zu vergleichen mit einer wirklichen Destillery-Tour, aber nichts desto trotz eine sehr gut gemachte Führung mit einem Tasting von je einem Whisky aus den 5 Regionen Schottlands. Muss Mann mal gemacht haben

En la cata van demasiado deprisa y el traductor automático está en volumen muy bajo y se oye más lo que se habla fuera de los auriculares que la traducción. Eso sí, todo el mundo encantador.
