Enjoying Your Whisky Glass

Article Category: Culture

Author Name: Lawrence Reaves

If you dig your first few experiences on whisky, then you must plunge in further and learn how to judge which one was greatly prepared and which one was not. Print this up and let this be your short guide in appreciating the great old Scottish spirit.

One of the pressing concerns you must dwell on in evaluating a whisky is of course its vessel, the whisky glass. In tableware usage, a whisky glass refers to the tumbler cut like the ordinary kitchen glass. There is a huge opening and the rest of the body follows through the size down up to the bottom. What is funny is that the whisky glass as we know it is not the best glassware to appreciate the characteristics of a whisky.

When the lid of the glass is wide, it is much easier for the spirit's rich aromas to go up in the air and dissipate into nothingness. One of the things that make whisky expensive is the fragrance that it has formed in its long years of maturation. If you're going to let the aroma fly away by using a wide-mouthed glass, it is only tantamount to throwing away your dollars. Drinking whisky without the unique aroma is nothing different from drinking a cheap one from a retail store around the corner.

Another potential crime to be watched out in drinking a whisky is using a colored glass. The best whisky glass should be crystal clear and very honest in showing the drink's genuine color. Distillers from around the world are working so hard to create a formula that can render their whiskies into a precious, golden brown and shiny color. They search and use the best ingredients, carefully plan the manufacture process, ensure proper bottling, and so on. Using a colored glass is like pouring those significant efforts down the drain.

The best glass to be used in whisky tasting must have a mouth narrower than the bottom. As mentioned, the glass should be clear and not smoked enough not to change the real color of the liquid. A tulip glass used in cognac and sherry is recommended, but a specially-crafted Scotland-produced Glencairn whisky glass is perfect.

Once you have the right glass, you can now conduct the ceremonies of appreciating. The first thing to observe is the color. Hold the Glencairn glass by its stem and raise it upward near the light. The ideal hue of Scotch whisky is a rich brown tone with a golden luster. This suggests that the drink was processed and matured inside a premium oak cask. If the drink's color is lighter than the average whisky, this only means it was processed in a barrel of cheap wood.

After the color comes the next sip. Just put a small quantity of liquid into the glass, smell it in an arm's distance away, and then make your first tiny sip. Let the spirit slide down and travel across all areas of the tongue. In doing this, be as creative as you can be in imagining and articulating what you feel during the start, middle, and end of the sip. Explain the smell by sighting ingredients, objects, moods, and situations. When you have tasted at least a dozen kinds of single malt, you will surely know which one is produced with a great deal of science and craft.
