International Whiskey Day is this Sunday (March 27) and is a perfect excuse to have yourself a Sunday Funday. I’ve sampled many whiskeys from around the world. My go to is Jameson and Jack Daniels. I also like several Scotch brands such as Lagavulin and Glenmorangie. The best way to find your favorite is to just try a few and hone your personal taste.
- Pour your whiskey into a glass. Select a small glass tumbler, such as a lowball glass. …
- Try the whiskey neat before adding water or ice. Before you add anything else to the whiskey, at least sample a little of it in its pure state.
- Smell the whiskey 2 or 3 times before tasting it. Put your nose in the glass and take a deep huff. …
- Roll the whiskey around in your mouth before swallowing. Don’t just gulp the whiskey down. Take a small sip and move it around on your tongue.
- Add a splash of water to enhance the flavor. Add a few drops of fresh, clean water to your whiskey and give it a quick stir with a straw.
- Toss in a chunk of ice if you want a refreshing chill. …
- Take your time finishing your drink. Since part of the appeal of whiskey is its flavor, you’ll probably get the most out of it if you sip it slowly …
Enjoy your whiskey and drink responsibly.
