1. Pure drink:
Pure drink, some believe that only pure drink can get the true meaning of single malt whiskey. Pour the whisky directly into the glass and quietly feel the amber liquid slipping through your body, instantly filling with fragrance.
2. Add water:
It is the most "popular" way to drink whisky around the world, even in Scotland, drinking it with water is still popular. Many people think that adding water will destroy the original taste of whiskey, in fact, adding a moderate amount of water does not make whiskey lose its original taste, on the contrary, it may dilute the alcohol taste and bring out the hidden aroma of whiskey.
According to theory, diluting whiskey with water to 20% alcohol is a better way to show all the aromas of whiskey. However, the main purpose of adding water is to reduce the excessive stimulation of alcohol on the sense of smell, but the degree of stimulation of alcohol on the sense of smell does not depend on the concentration of alcohol alone. In the case of whisky, with the same alcohol concentration, the lower vintage will be more irritating to the higher vintage, so the dilution water required for the lower vintage whisky will be higher than that for the higher vintage whisky to achieve a good state of aroma release.
Generally speaking, the ratio of 1:1 is suitable for 12-year whiskey; Less than 12 years, the amount of water to increase; If it is more than 12 years old, the water should be reduced, if it is more than 25 years old whiskey, it is recommended to add a little water, or even no water.
