A good whisky will spark comparisons with a whole range of flavours and scents you have experienced before. These will be highly personal and unique to you. There is no wrong or right. Comparing the flavours you discover with those of your friends is one of many of the joys drinking whisky.
The simplest way to enjoy your whisky is neat, cleaning your palate with cool water between sips. Many people also add water to their whisky, which can open up the flavours as the liquids combine. Try this, but remember the old adage: “you can add, but you can't take away”. Too much water can spoil a whisky and ‘flatten’ its layers of flavour.
EXPERIMENTATION IS THE KEY TO FINDING THE BEST WAY TO ENJOY YOUR FAVOURITE WHISKY.
Try different glasses and different temperatures. Add a little water, or a mixer. Try a co*cktail. But remember, only you know the serve that’s right for you.
