whiskey tasting

Spirits evaluation event

Whiskey tasting is the practice of sampling and evaluating whiskeys, typically in a structured setting where participants assess color, aroma, and flavor.

Tastings may compare varieties, regions, or ages: The distillery offers whiskey tastings on weekends.

The ritual involves nosing the glass, taking small sips, and often adding water to open up the spirit's character.
