How to Enjoy Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Drinking Scotch the right way opens up the flavor and elevates the experience. Allow the team at Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits to perfect the art of enjoying your single malt scotch with all of your senses engaged.
Temperature
Scotch is best served at room temperature. Putting this whisky into the refrigerator tightens up the flavors while room temperature environments let the flavors and aromas open up for full appreciation. Beyond serving at room temperature, the body heat of holding the serving glass in your hand can elevate the flavors even further.
Suggested Serving Glass
Rather than the whisky tumbler you might think is best for drinking Scotch, those in the know suggest a tulip-shaped glass. With this type of glass, you’ll be able to swirl your Scotch to release flavors without the risk of spillage, and the shape will concentrate all of the aromas at the glass’s neck.
Steps for Enjoying Scotch Whisky
- Evaluate the color. The color doesn’t tell you how old the whisky is, but it does tell you how it was aged. A golden color indicates sherry oak barrels and pale whiskies usually come from bourbon barrels.
- Evaluate the legs. To check your whisky’s legs, extend the glass up at an angle and swirl the whisky so that the liquid runs down all sides of the glass. These are the legs. Slower legs equal older whisky.
- Evaluate the aroma. Before you take a sip, take a sniff. As you pass the glass under your nose, take a whiff, and then repeat these sniffs to evaluate the various aromatics you notice.
- Evaluate the drink. Would you believe that there is actually a precise way to drink your scotch? Create a spoon with your tongue and sip the scotch, allowing it to stay awhile on the tongue. As you engage with your taste buds, appreciate the various flavors that you experience, cataloging them. Long term scotch drinkers can distinguish varieties.
