A little wh**ky wisdom from MWS…
We’re lucky at **kysociety to welcome the best of distillery ambassadors and wh**ky experts to our tastings at the The Library bar in Malton month, sharing their tips and tricks for getting the most from their drams.
But here’s a little secret. You don’t need to be an expert or an insider to appreciate wh**ky. A few simple techniques can open up a whole new world of flavour, whether you’re a curious newcomer or a seasoned enthusiast.
Here’s our tips and tricks…
🥃 Know your wh**ky – Take a moment to discover where it’s from and what makes it special. That’s where our distillery ambassadors come fully into play – they know their wh**ky intimately, so you can too.
🥃 Choose your glass – A tulip-shaped glass helps concentrate the aromas, making them easier to explore. Always on hand for you here.
🥃 Give it a swirl – Gently swirl your wh**ky to release its aromas, then let it settle.
🥃 Nose it – Bring the glass towards your nose gently and take short, light sniffs. What can you smell? No right or wrong answers here.
🥃 Make connections – Think of familiar things - honey, orchard fruit, vanilla, spice or even a favourite memory. Make your notes.
🥃 Take your time – Sip slowly, notice how the flavours develop and, most importantly, enjoy the experience.
Wh**ky is for discovering, not showing off. Come along to MWS and explore it with us.
