WhiskyWednesday-Whisky Queries

In this addition of WhiskyWednesday, Shlomo answers an oft-asked question: should you add water to whisky before tasting it?

The bottom line: it's at your discretion. However, Shlomo calls upon the knowledge of John Hansell, his mentor and the publisher of WhiskyAdvocate, who recommends first trying it neat. 

How do you like to taste whisky? And what other whisky questions do you have? Let us know in the comments section!

Tomintoul Tuesday!

Today, we bring you a special treat! Tomintoul's 16 Year Aged Single Malt all the way from Speyside. This whisky is aged in American oak. Unlike French or Spanish oak, American oak will lend the juice a lighter, golden color.

Shlomo dubs the whisky's malty flavor "The Honey Smack Syndrome." Think of it like drinking cereal.

The best cereal ever, that is.
