Interesting reddit forum thread here. Some good insight here I think and something we should all be considering at our tastings – particularly new members and guests I’d say. –Bop<\/p>\n

\nI also tend to get a longer finish and better flavor if I hold the whisky on my tongue for a few seconds before swallowing.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nI’ll try that right now, thanks!<\/em><\/p>\n
\nA guy who was running a whisky tasting one said that we should honor the craftsmanship of scotch by holding it on the tongue for 1 second for every year. \ud83d\ude42 Have fun. I usually do this now for my second sip.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nI’ll say this, it really allows you to pick up a lot more of what’s going on. So much more depth and complexity from just a few extra seconds. Learning something new every day.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nI usually have to hold the Scotch on my tongue for at least a few seconds before I feel like I can taste everything that’s going on. Older whiskies take longer to “open up” for me & sherry cask usually takes longer than Bourbon cask. If you hold it for a while, the finish will probably last longer too.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
