In many whiskey , some whiskey lovers always take a cup and look carefully, smell it, and say some professional nouns and fragrances. The style is fully displayed when the cups are being pushed and changed. So how can a novice novice taste a cup of whiskey?
tasting cup:
British Gran Kane Crystal Cup is a professional whiskey wine tasting room aroma cup.
Origin: GLEN-CARN was founded in 1980 in an Edinburgh region. The designers created the glass after listening to the opinions of whiskey makers based on traditional Scotch wine glasses.
Why choose the Grand Cain Cup:
Tasting players believe that aroma is especially important for tasting whiskey. The slightly wider cup belly can hold enough whiskey, and condense the aroma in the cup belly and release it from the mouth of the cup. The mouth of the cup is even smaller than the SO cup road, and the edge of the cup is not designed to turn outward or shrink, and is suitable for all kinds of whiskeys or spirits.
Looking color:
Use your eyes to observe the color of whiskey and smell the fragrance with your nose, as well as tasting whiskey with your taste organs, are equally important. The eyes can help you obtain valuable clues.
For example: What whiskey is mature in oak barrel ? How long does whiskey age? What does this bottle of whiskey taste even? Holding the bottom support of the glass cup in your hand, it is best to have a white wall or a piece of white paper on the background. If the observed color is light gold or light wheat yellow, it is very likely that the bottle of whiskey is matured in a bourbon barrel that has been used before. If the observed color is darker than the previous one, golden or warm gold, it may be matured into the first-filled bourbon bucket. Also, if the observed color is dark amber, it is very likely that the bottle of whiskey is matured in Sherry casks or Madeira casks.

Check the shape of the cup:
Check the viscosity of the wituji. It can be observed by rotating the wine in the cup. It has to be said here that tulip-shaped glasses are most suitable for the wine to swirl in the cup. After gently rotating, the wine will hang on the inner wall of the cup, and the consistency can tell you many of the characteristics of this bottle of whiskey. For example: observe the time it slides down from the inner wall. The short-aged whiskey rotates quickly in the cup, forming a thinner fluid and sliding downward at a fast speed; if it is a whiskey that has been aged for a longer time, the slower rotation in the cup, forming a thicker fluid and sliding downward at a slower speed, and separation is even wider.
Smell the aroma:
After observing hang the cup , put the wine glass in front of you and smell it and feel the fragrance you first saw. Then cover the mouth of the cup with a washed palm and shake it up and down once or twice, so that the wine is covered with the palm of your hand and rub the remaining wine with both hands, so that the alcohol can evaporate a lot of alcohol and leave a real fragrance. After Titian, sniff the palms covered with whiskey aromas, you will smell the scent of aged oak and various strange flavors such as herbs, fruits, and smoke.
Tasting:
After smelling the fragrance, it is an important moment to taste whiskey. Adding a little water to the cup will give the whiskey more lurking aroma. Next, take a large sip of whiskey into your mouth, and before swallowing it, put it in your mouth and taste it slowly, rolling the whiskey in your mouth to cover the tip of your tongue, the front, the back and the sides of your tongue. Doing so will help you distinguish the various flavors of whiskey. Some of the tastes tasted at this time will be different from the aromas you smelled before. And, when rolling whiskey in your mouth, you will be impressed by the body (taste) or viscosity, is it gentle, smooth, soft or rich, complex? What is its aftertaste? Will the aroma stay in the mouth for a long time or will it disappear immediately? This is what wine tasters often say is long or short.
In fact, if you really taste a cup of whiskey, you still need to see if it suits your taste and acceptance. Some people like heavy mouths, while others like gentleness. Tasting whiskey is also to enjoy the comfort and slightly drunken pleasure brought to you by the wine.In whiskey, every bit of taste taste comes from the winemaker's hard research and exploration after several years or even dozens or hundreds of years.
