How to Taste (and Describe) Whisky

Serious Eats / Riddley Gemperlein Screen

Whisky should not be swirled or taken as a shot. It can also be spelled whisky whiskey or whisk(e)y—depending on whether it is Scotch Irish American or Japanese.

But the lack of an “e” with “e” or “(e)” aside the fact is that there’s a big wide world of whisky out there. Borderless really (there are 11 million casks of Scotch whisky in Scotland alone more than double the population of the entire country). This makes it not only unclear what whisky to buy but also how best to enjoy it especially if you’re spending money on single-malt.
