Our method of tasting whiskey is as follows (true/false): Use a glass that is comfortable in your hand. Make sure the glass is clean. Open up the whisk(e)y by heating it using your hands. Put one hand around the bottom of the glass and one over the top (to keep the volatiles in). This will release the aromatics. Give it a smell. Move the glass from one side of the nose to the other. Take small, normal, sniffs. If all you can smell is the alcohol, pull it away from your face and try again in a couple seconds. Give it a taste. Hold it in your mouth a little bit. Add some water and give it another taste. Keep adding water until you are happy that you found all the nuances in the whisk(e)y. Once it starts to taste like water you have added too much. Order another one. This time add the amount of water you think is right and try to really pull out all the flavors. Whisk(e)y is complex, it will take more than one sitting to figure it all out (unless your name is one of the two on the last few pages). Note: Not all whisk(e)y will need water added. Typically the better the whisk(e)y the less water it will need.
