舊城區的小巷交錯如迷宮
有別於廣場上的人聲鼎沸
輕撫古老的石牆緩緩前行
聽著亞得里亞海風講故事
【Introduction of Distillery】
Girvan 酒廠隸屬於 William Grant & Sons，建立於 1963年，當時由 William Grant 的曾孫 Charles Grant Gordon 的指導下，九個月內建造完成並成為最大的穀物威士忌酒廠，第一批烈酒在聖誕節當天裝瓶。同年裝置的第一座 Coffey Still (考菲式蒸餾器)使用至 2016年長達 53年的歲月後退役。
Girvan 酒廠使用的穀物比例為 10% 的麥芽和 90% 的小麥，目前運作中的蒸餾器是 No. 4 Apps 和 No. 5 Apps，是 1992年推出的新型態蒸餾器，採用多壓式系統 (Multi-Pressure System, MPS)。這種 MPS 技術特別是可以在真空或低溫下進行蒸餾，產出一種果味更濃更甜、更純淨和不含硫化合物的烈酒酒體。
這款在 1996年蒸餾的 Girvan 從香氣就能清晰感受到果香甜味和些許玉米片的香氣，口感乾淨易飲的調性中帶點蜂蜜、咖啡與辛香料感，絲毫感受不到其高酒精濃度的刺激感。
