Whisky tasting is the practice of sampling and evaluating different types of whisky to appreciate their unique flavors and aromas. Participants typically observe the whisky's color, swirl it in the glass, and inhale its scent before taking a small sip. This process helps to identify various notes, such as fruity, spicy, or smoky characteristics. During a whisky tasting, individuals may explore different styles, including Scotch, Bourbon, and Irish whiskey. Tastings can be conducted at home, in bars, or at specialized events, often guided by experts who provide insights into the production process and the history of each whisky.
