Scotch evaluation event

Whisky tasting is the practice of sampling and evaluating whiskies, assessing their color, aroma, flavor, and finish.

It ranges from casual social gatherings to formal events with expert guides: We're going to a whisky tasting on Saturday.

Participants typically sample several varieties, often comparing regions, ages, or distilleries.
