IF YOU ARE DOING A TASTING, THERE IS NO RIGHT WAY OR WRONG WAY TO TASTE WHISKEY, BUT THERE ARE WAYS TO MAKE IT MORE ENJOYABLE.
TIPS FOR TASTING #1
Swirl your glass to release the aroma & put your nose to the rim, keeping your mouth slightly open.
TIPS FOR TASTING #2
Pour ½ ounce into each glass. Products are best served at room temperature to maximize aroma and flavor.
TIPS FOR TASTING #3
If someone is with you wearing strong perfumes, colognes, or lotions, or if there is the smell of strong cleaners, candles, fireplaces or spices that were used in cooking, this may distort the aroma and taste of the whiskey.
TIPS FOR TASTING #4
Taste one sample at a time, paying specific attention to color, aroma, taste, and finish. Have your guests observe and comment on the following:

AROMA
Around 75% of what we sense as taste really comes from the smell. Make sure you swirl your glass in order to release the aroma of the whiskey. Put your nose directly on the rim and take some good short sniffs but keep your mouth slightly open. Don’t inhale too deeply, this could make you become temporarily “odor blind”, distorting your senses for the tasting that follows.
TASTE
The best way to drink whiskey is the way you like it. Determine if you need to dilute the whiskey. If you need to dilute, do so with a few drops of water at a time. This will avoid losing too much flavor. Taste it by holding it in your mouth and let it be exposed to the different areas of your tongue. Take notes of the body, texture and feel you have in your mouth.
