The tour culminates with a whiskey tasting in the Barrel Tower, an iconic beacon in the landscape, influenced by the local Dali architecture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Visitors can also enjoy additional hospitality spaces including a high-end tasting lounge of locally sourced ingredients, retail store, caf\u00e9, and a multi-function and VIP space for events and distinguished guests.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The distillery is divided into different zones for the complete whiskey production process such as grist, milling, mashing, fermentation, distilling, coopering, filling, cask
