👁️ Look

Observe the whisky's color and clarity. Darker whiskies often indicate longer aging in oak barrels.

2

👃 Nose

Gently swirl and inhale the aromas. Identify notes of fruit, spice, smoke, or oak.

3

👅 Taste

Take a small sip and let it coat your palate. Notice the initial flavors and how they develop.

4

✨ Finish

Savor the aftertaste. A long, pleasant finish is the mark of quality whisky.
