How to taste whisky

Whisky is one of the most exquisite alcoholic beverages available, which is available in a wide variety of flavors, ranging from light to concentrated and smoky. This diversity of taste experiences is one of the main reasons why people love whisky. However, there are some ways to taste it at its best and enjoy its unique flavor even more.

Add your whisky in a special glass

Whisky is served in small glass tumblers, which may be available in various presentations. For example, there are low-ball whiskey glasses or tulip-shaped glasses, the latter being one of the best options to better enjoy the aroma and flavor of whisky.

To taste whiskey in the best way, it would be best to avoid plastic glasses altogether.

 Start by pouring a small amount of whisky.

The best way to taste whisky is to ingest it little by little. So, first of all, start by pouring a small amount, approximately 20-40 milliliters. Then, smell the whisky several times before tasting it, so that your nose gets used to it and can perceive its aroma. Then, taste it before deciding to add ice or water. No doubt, by doing this your palate will have a pretty clear idea about the flavor of the whisky and you will be able to taste it in the best way.

Let the whisky sit in your mouth for a few seconds

Once you have taken your first sip of whisky, leave it in your mouth for a few seconds, allowing your tongue to wrap around it. This way you will be able to appreciate its full flavor. In fact, there are some drinkers who like to “chew” the whiskey. This practice is perfect to fully enjoy this drink.

 Use whisky stones

It is common to add ice to cool the whisky, but this causes the drink to dilute a little and lose some of its natural flavor. Therefore, the best way to taste whiskey is by using whisky stones. They allow you to cool the drink without diluting it, so your experience will be unforgettable.
