When choosing a drink, whisky often stands out—not just for its potency, but for the allure surrounding it. There’s something undeniably special about whisky. Maybe it’s the rich history or the way it brings people together. Or perhaps it’s the magic of a brand like The Macallan, with its rich, velvety notes that whisper tales of Scottish highlands with every sip. Whatever the reason, whisky has a unique charm that captivates our hearts and taste buds.

Embarking on a whisky journey is like stepping into a world of endless discovery. It’s exciting, intricate, and brimming with flavours waiting to be explored. To help you navigate this rich world, we’ve compiled a list of do’s and don’ts when sipping your whisky.

Whether you’re just starting or you’ve been savouring whisky for years, these expert tips will enhance your enjoyment and deepen your appreciation for this timeless spirit.

 

 

Do Take Your Time

Whisky is meant to be savoured, not rushed. Take your time to appreciate the colour, inhale the aromas, and savour the flavours. Let each sip linger on your palate to fully appreciate the complexity and craftsmanship of the whisky. With a whisky like The Macallan, this approach helps you uncover the aromas that define its exquisite character.

Tip: When nosing the whisky, breathe in gently through your nose and mouth to avoid overwhelming your senses. Unlike smelling a flower, resist the urge to bury your nose directly in the glass and sniff aggressively. Instead, hold the glass a few inches away, swirl, and take a gentle sniff of the sweet and savoury notes of the liquid.

 

 

Do Ace or Add A Little Water

A splash of water can “open up” the whisky, softening the alcohol bite and revealing subtler notes. Experiment by adding drops one at a time until you find your perfect balance. Usually, the ice helps the flavors and aromas express themselves even more, so with good whisky, adding ice or a bit of water elevates the experience entirely.

Don’t Rush the Finish: The enjoyment of whisky doesn’t end with the swallow. Take a moment to appreciate the lingering aftertaste, the warmth in your chest (a good warmth, not a heartburn warmth). Let the whisky leave a lasting impression, one sip at a time. When you take that final sip, don’t just gulp and move on. Pause. Appreciate the lingering aftertaste.

Do Choose Your Glassware Wisely

The right glass can make all the difference in your whisky-tasting experience. While the classic tumbler is iconic, don’t be afraid to try a Glencairn glass or a copita. These options are designed to enhance the aroma and flavour of your whisky.

Tip: Use a tulip-shaped glass to concentrate the whisky’s aromas, making it easier to pick up on the subtle notes.

Don’t Forget to Share

There’s this saying: “When the drink is good, don’t forget to share”. Whisky is a social drink meant to be enjoyed with company! Whether it’s a selection of one of the finest The Macallan single malt whiskies or its beautifully balanced double casks, be sure to share your favourite bottles with friends and family, and enjoy the experience together. Discussing the flavours and notes can enhance your appreciation and deepen your understanding of whisky.

Tip: Consider exclusive spots with like-minded people like The Macallan Lounge at Transcorp Hotel Abuja. Here is a picture of Nigeria’s billionaire Tony Elumelu doing just that (winks).
