In this guide I will show you how to drink Whiskey. There are a few different ways that people like to drink Whiskey. Im going to give you my top three.
Tools:
- 1 ea Whiskey Glass
Materials:
- 1 ea Bottle of Makers Mark 46
- 1 ea Ice Cold water or Ice
1Straight Whiskey
– Pour into glass, let sit for a few seconds, take a drink. – Let Whiskey Rest in your mouth, under your tongue. This allows the burn to settle and will help your mouth taste the real flavor of the drink. – Swallow Whiskey, breathe out through your nose. This will give you a more clear taste of the age and beauty of the drink. This form of drinking Whiskey is off putting to most people but allows the consumer to really get a true taste of the raw flavor of the drink. You are not hiding it with and coke or other flavors, this is just pure aged goodness.
Note:
This is a very strong taste and flavor. You need a good developed pallet to handle this.
2Tear drop Whiskey
– Pour Whiskey into glass. Let it sit. – Take a drop of Ice Cold Water (as cold as you can get it) place it into the Whiskey. – Repeat step two and three of “Straight Whiskey” This “Tear Drop” Whiskey is a way to draw out the more difficult flavors to find in the drink without drowning all of the aged goodness. This cold drop of water is going to bring out the lighter notes of the drink as well.
Note:
This is a good way to get very subtle but great flavor from your Whiskey
3On the Rocks
– Pour Whiskey into glass with 3 ice cubes (you can substitute for more but I recommend 3) – DO NOT LET IT SIT. The longer you let it sit in the ice the more diluted the flavor will be. – Drink slowly make sure you leave the whole ice cubes in the glass. On the rocks is a more intense version of the “Tear Drop” it is going to bring out a lot of lighter flavor that isnt as harsh or raw.
Note:
Recommended for first timers.
