The Art of Flavored Whiskey Tasting
Tips for Tasting Flavored Whiskey Like a Pro
1. Choose the Right Glass: Start with the right choice of glass, preferably using a tulip-shaped glass to concentrate the aromas and improve your tasting experience of flavored wines.
2. Examine the Color: Color makes a difference in the overall experience, so observe the whiskey’s hue in good lighting; the color can hint at the flavor intensity or type of infusion.
3. Assess the Aroma: Swirl the whiskey gently and take a few short sniffs. Identify the layered scents, such as vanilla, fruit, spice, or nuttiness.
4. Take a Small Sip: Let it rest on your tongue briefly to savor the initial flavors before swallowing. Notice the blend of sweetness, spice, or other notes.
5. Evaluate the Finish: Focus on the aftertaste or "finish." A long, smooth finish can indicate quality.
6. Compare with Water: Add a few drops of water to open up hidden flavors and soften strong notes.
7. Take Notes: Write down your impressions of aroma, flavor, and finish to remember your preferences better and explore further.
