RSSWhisky Tasting
 |
You might have heard a zillion times about whisky tasting as one of the most sought after indulgence of the who’s who. Here’s how they do it:
The Glass: You need a tulip-shaped glass as it can trap the aromas in the bulging bottom and release them through the small area at the top. The Color: Color tell how older the scotch is. There is a very simple rule for color: the darker the scotch appears, the older it is. The Weight: Try churning the whiskey around the glass, so that the inner part of the glass is fully coated with a layer of scotch. Now, wait and see the teardrops that form and run down the glass. If they run quickly, that means the Scotch is probably old, whereas if the drops are somewhat thin and go down slowly, it signifies that the Scotch is not so old. The Aroma: Add a little water to your whisky. Water reduces the overall content of alcohol and raises the temperature of the drink a little. As a result, more of aromas of the Scotch are released.
Take a Sip: Try to analyze flavor of the drink while sipping Scotch. Hold the drink and feel it in your mouth. Now, evaluate the taste- whether it is silky smooth, or syrupy or does it feel tingly on the tongue. Finishing Touch: After sipping and identifying yourself with all the flavors, you should check it for the finish it has- is the flavor still there, or has it disappeared fast? The longer the taste and aromas remain, better the scotch is.
