Whether you’re a 25-year-old just starting to explore the world of whiskey or someone more refined who is looking to make drink suggestions to impress their mates, our wide selection of high quality spirits are certain to satisfy your sophisticated taste buds but before you taste greatness let’s get right into our list of the 5 things that will help you appreciate whiskey the way it should be. 

1. Start With A Lower Proof

Whiskey can be a strong spirit, so it’s best to start with a lower proof, around 40-50%. This will allow you to taste the flavors without being overwhelmed by the alcohol content. As you become more familiar with the taste of whiskey, you can move on to higher proof options. At our Irish bar, we offer a wide selection of whiskey with different proofs, so you can find the perfect one for you.

2. Try Different Types

There are many different types of whiskey, such as Bourbon, Scotch, Irish, and Rye. Each type has its own unique flavor profile. For instance, there are fruity whiskey, smoky whiskey, sweet whiskey, and last but not least, spicy whiskey. Be sure to try different types to find your favorite. At our Irish bar, we specialize in Irish whiskey, and we offer a wide selection of single malt and blended Irish whiskey, each with its own unique flavor and aroma.

3. Drink It Neat Or With A Drop Of Water

To truly taste the flavors of whiskey, it’s best to drink it neat or with a drop or two of water. This allows the whiskey to open up and release its aroma. Avoid adding mixers as they can overpower the whiskeys flavor. At our Irish bar, we believe that whiskey should be enjoyed in its purest form, and we encourage our customers to try their whiskey neat or with a drop of water.

4. Invest In Good Glassware

The type of glassware you use can also affect the way you experience whiskey. A whiskey tumbler or a snifter is the best option as they allow the whiskey to breathe and release its aroma. At our Irish bar, we use the proper glassware for whiskey to enhance the taste and aroma of the whiskey.

5. Learn From Other Whiskey Drinkers

Don’t be afraid to ask experienced whiskey drinkers for recommendations or to join a whiskey tasting group. They can offer valuable insights and help you navigate the world of whiskey. Moreover, at our Irish bar, we host regular whiskey tastings and events where you can learn more about whiskey and taste different types of whiskey.
