Welcome to the world of Smoke On The Water. In this pack, we explore the influence that the primal flavours of sea salt and peat smoke have on the whisky as it rests in oak whilst immersed in a micro-climate that leaves its indelible mark as the casks breathe in the salt laden air.
We've selected three whiskies which are made in close proximity to the sea, for you to gain an insight into the way the ‘coastal terroir’ impacts the taste. With each sip, you'll get a sense of the delicate balance between the natural saltiness of the sea and the smoky peat fire.
If you're looking for a whisky experience unlike any other, then look no further than Smoke On The Water. Welcome to the world of whisky exploration.
Unlock the full potential of your spirits with our Step-by-Step Guide to Enhance your Tasting Experience
Create a warm and inviting atmosphere for your whisky or gin tasting experience by setting the scene. Whether it's a quiet night in or a small gathering with friends, setting the scene for your whisky or gin tasting is just as important as the spirits themselves. Light a fire, dim the lights, and make sure you have comfortable seating for everyone, and a Glencairn glass for nosing.
One of the most important aspects of spirit tasting is nosing, or smelling, the glass before taking a sip. This allows you to fully appreciate the complex aromas and flavours of the spirits. Take a small sniff of the glass, taking note of any distinct scents and writing them down in your journal.
Compare and contrast the different flavours and aromas of each spirit by tasting and comparing them side-by-side. Take small sips of each spirit, noting any differences in flavour, aroma, and finish. Write down your tasting notes in your journal. If you're tasting gin, try to find garnishes or tonics that perfectly match the flavour.
Take your time and fully enjoy the experience of tasting the spirits. Tasting spirits is not just about the liquid in the glass, it's also about the experience. Take your time, savour each sip and fully enjoy the flavours and aromas. Keep a journal to write your tasting notes, so you don't forget. Whether you're discovering a new spirit or revisiting an old favourite, make sure to take the time to appreciate the moment.
