How to drink whisky
1. Pure drink
Some people believe that the true meaning of single malt whisky can only be obtained by pure drinking. Pour the whisky directly into the glass, quietly feel the amber liquid slide over the body, and the aroma instantly fills.
2. Add water
It can be called the most "popular" way to drink whisky in the world, even in Scotland, drinking with water is still popular. Many people think that adding water will destroy the original taste of whisky. In fact, adding the right amount of water will not make the whisky lose its original taste. On the contrary, this may make the alcohol taste weaker and bring out the hidden aroma of the whisky.
According to the theory, diluting whisky with water to 20% alcohol is the best state that can best express all the aroma of whisky. However, the main purpose of adding water is to reduce the excessive stimulation of the sense of smell by alcohol. However, the stimulation of the sense of smell by alcohol does not depend solely on the concentration of alcohol.
As far as whisky is concerned, with the same alcohol concentration, the younger age will have stronger stimulation, so to achieve the best release of aroma, the amount of dilution water required for low age whisky will be higher than that of high age whisky. .
Generally speaking, the ratio of 1:1 is most suitable for 12-year-old whisky. If it is lower than 12 years, the amount of water should be increased. If it is higher than 12 years, the amount of water should be reduced. If it is higher than 25 years old, it is recommended to add a little water. No need to add water even.
3. Add ice
This kind of drinking method, also known as on the rock, is mainly for drinkers who want to reduce the stimulation of alcohol without diluting the whisky. However, although adding ice cubes to whisky can suppress the alcohol taste, it also locks up some of the aroma due to cooling, making it difficult to taste the original flavor characteristics of whisky.
