Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival May 2018
How do whisky or whiskey drinkers drink theirs?
1. Pour "two
fingers" of whisky into a glass ...
2. Use the colour of
the whisky to gauge its age. ...
3. Lift the glass to
your nose for a smell. ...
4. Place a few drops
of clean water into your whisky. ...
5. Taste the whisky
and compare it to its smell. ...
6. Keep any added ice
to a minimum.
"Step one, swill glass Step two, big sniff Step three, take a big, long sip: heaven"
"To drink scotch, you don't
bring air in to your mouth like you do with wine. You take a sip, hold it in
your mouth for a couple of seconds (some people chew on it a little) then
swallow. That's when the flavour hits. Adding a couple of drops of water takes the edge off the
alcohol, and makes the drink much smoother."
