What Is Whisky?

Whisky is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grains, typically aged in wooden casks to develop its complex flavours. Depending on the region and production style, whisky can vary significantly in taste, ranging from smoky and peaty to smooth and sweet. Popular types of whisky include Scotch, bourbon, Irish whiskey, and Japanese whisky.

At Bottle Stop, we’re passionate about bringing you the finest whiskies from around the globe. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or a newcomer to the world of whisky, our curated collection ensures there’s something for everyone.

• Ireland: Irish whiskey is typically triple-distilled for smoothness. It offers approachable flavours with a balance of malt, vanilla, and fruit notes.
• United States: Home to bourbon and Tennessee whiskey, the U.S. boasts bold flavours with sweet caramel and oak notes, often aged in charred new oak barrels.

Whisky Tasting Tips

Tasting whisky is an art that involves more than just sipping. Follow these steps to savour your next dram:

1. Look: Observe the colour of the whisky, which can range from pale gold to deep amber. It offers clues about the ageing process and cask type.
2. Smell: Gently swirl the glass and inhale deeply. Note aromas like vanilla, spices, citrus, or smoke.
3. Taste: Take a small sip and let the whisky coat your palate. Identify primary flavours, such as sweet, fruity, or smoky notes.
4. Finish: Pay attention to the aftertaste. A long, smooth finish often indicates a well-aged whisky.
5. Add Water: Adding a drop of water can open up the flavours and aromas, especially in cask-strength whiskies.

How to Serve Whisky

Serving whisky the right way can enhance its flavours and ensure an enjoyable experience. Here are some serving tips:

• Neat: Enjoy whisky straight from the bottle to experience its full flavours and aromas.
• On the Rocks: Adding ice chills the whisky and slightly dilutes it, making it more refreshing and approachable.
• With Water: A splash of water helps open up the whisky’s flavours, especially with high-proof options.
• In a Cocktail: Whisky cocktails like Old Fashioned and Manhattan are timeless favourites.
• Glassware: Use a tulip-shaped glass to concentrate the aromas or a rocks glass for casual sipping.
