A Beginner’s Guide to Drinking Whiskey\r\n\r\nWith millions of barrels awaiting customers all over the world, there is no denying that whiskey is a must-drink for anyone looking to sample each and every distinct alcoholic beverage. Bars and restaurants are filled to the brim with enthusiasts wanting to taste only the best and the brightest brands.\r\n\r\nUnder the watchful eye of connoisseurs such as the folks at Ironton Distillery and Crafthouse, an unassuming glass of whiskey can be one of the best things you’ll ever taste. There are, however, a few things to remember to spice up that drink of yours. Here are some tips to make your whiskey session one for the books:\r\n\r\n1. The glass is everything. Your choice of container spells the difference between success and failure. A lowball glass is highly recommended with its wide brim that provides enough room for ice and other ingredients to mingle in. On the other hand, a sniffer glass enables you to experience the drink’s authenticity as you lift it up your nose. It all depends on your preference.\r\n\r\n2. Iced or neat? While you might be tempted to add a couple of ice cubes as soon as you pour whiskey into your glass, you might want to sample it under normal temperature. Some drinks are fine when tasted neat, while others are greatly improved by adding ice. Again, it boils down to preference; it pays to experience both sides of the fence.\r\n\r\n3. Use your nose. Smelling whiskey before drinking it, contrary to popular belief, is not an elitist act. It is, in fact, a manner of adjusting your nose to the scent of the drink. Since some whiskeys provide a strong aroma, consider inhaling deeply into the glass before taking that first gulp. If you happen to have one in your cupboard, a copita-style glass helps enhance the smell.\r\n\r\n4. Make a splash, literally. Sometimes, the strength of alcohol has a tendency to drown the overall flavor of the whiskey. One ideal solution to this problem is to add a few drops of water into the glass. Doing so will lessen the alcohol’s power and will instead reveal that elusive taste that everyone is clamoring for.\r\n\r\n5. The best ingredients make the best whiskey. Don’t just settle for anything you find on the shelves. A reliable distillery is a must if you want to experience the taste of real whiskey. Based in Denver, Colorado, Ironton Distillery and Crafthouse is set to welcome the next few months with its first batch of whiskey. From smoked single malt to good ol’ Colorado bourbon, whiskey aficionados won’t go wrong with the selection of timeless ingredients.\r\n\r\nFor more information, visit irontondistillery.com or send an email at [email protected].
