whisky tasting

Whisky tasting involves evaluating its aroma, flavor, and finish through careful observation. Start by smelling it to identify scents such as fruit, spice, or wood. Take a small sip to assess the taste, noting the initial flavor, how it develops, and its complexity. Pay attention to the mouthfeel—how it feels in your mouth—and the aftertaste or lingering flavors. Tasting is best done slowly, allowing your senses to explore the different layers. This process enhances appreciation, helps distinguish different types, and deepens your understanding of whisky’s nuances.
