Whisky is a very personal thing, some cant stand the peaty or smoky highland malts, some much prefer them. Age is usually a good indicator of a fine whisky but again, it shouldnt be taken as the only indicator. The best method is to taste for yourself and discover
Islay malts have a tendancy to be smoky too.
Dont be afraid to open up the whiskey with an ice cube or a drop of water (preferably not from the tap), depending on the strength and type of whisky this can release a lot of flavour.
Whaat?!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :shock:
Fish swim in water
You have to be careful, adding the wrong kind of water isnt a good idea and can affect the flavour adversely.
