How to Drink Whisky like a Pro?
- Choose your Glass
For neat whisky, make it a tumbler (a short glass with a heavy bottom). For long whisky drinks, use a highball glass that’s tall, slim and straight-sided. - Inhale the Scent
A huge part of the flavour of food and drink comes from the way it smells – and whisky is no exception. Take a moment to enjoy the aroma. - Savour the Taste
Take a sip and allow the whisky to roll over your tongue, before letting it slip smoothly down. - Take a your time
See what flavours you recognise – some will be unique, or come across stronger, to you. Try discussing what you can taste with friends.
