Step 1: Colour
Take a good look at your whisky! Is it shimmering with a light gold hue, dazzling with bright copper tones, or basking in the rich embrace of amber?
Step 2: Body
Give that glass a gentle swirl and observe the body of your whisky. Is it dancing with a light, graceful body, stepping confidently with a medium body, or full body?

Get up close and personal with your whisky. Inhale those captivating aromas – is it teasing you with malty notes, seducing you with a hint of smoke, tantalising your senses with fruity delights, or indulging your taste buds with chocolatey goodness?

The moment of truth! Take a sip and let it caress your palate. Does it softly sweep you away with sweetness, take you on a fruity adventure, or ignite your taste buds with peppery and spicy excitement?
Step 5: Finish
