SERVING UP SOMETHING SPECIAL THIS FESTIVE SEASON

There’s no right or wrong way to drink whisky during this festive season. As long as you enjoy it, that’s all that matters! But there are some ways you can appreciate it even more. Experiment with different glasses and serving temperatures. Add a little water or a mixer. Drink it in a cocktail. Only you know how to drink whisky in the right way for you. Here are a few things to consider.

A guide to whisky tasting

1. Choose your glass01/04
For neat whisky, make it a tumbler (a short glass with a heavy bottom). For long whisky drinks, use a highball glass that’s tall, slim and straight-sided.

2. Inhale the scent02/04
A huge part of the flavour of food and drink comes from the way it smells – and whisky is no exception. Take a moment to enjoy the aroma.
