Nosing notes


Whichever malt you first decide to try, there is a certain ceremony in the tasting.


Begin by selecting a tulip shaped glass. The wide waist and no-arrow rim will capture and concentrate the aroma far better than a conventional whisky tumbler.


Next pour a measure of your chosen malt, warm the glass for a moment in your hand then swirl and inhale the “nose”. There are those who prefer to sip malt on its own like a cognac. However, the most general custom in Scotland is to add a little water before tasting – Preferably still Highland Spring water, never sparkling. Then nose again to discover how the water unlocks a more complex character.


Only then allow yourself the pleasure of sipping and scenting. Enjoy the initial thrill of the spirit, the smooth feel as it rolls over the tongue and the lingering finish. By this ceremony you will appreciate the many subtleties of each malt.
