This is how folk should learn to appreciate whiskey!

[@Carlosyabrudy]

0:47 - When swashing whisky around the mouth it shoots air in and out of the nasal cavity / mouth. This then keeps having aromas come and go lessening the ability for different parts of your palate (tongue for layman) to taste what you have without interruption or disruption.
In tasting courses one is dissuaded from this kind of mouth action. You also start to produce more saliva in this form and mix the whisky instead of taste it as clean as you could.

I prefer the 12 over the 15 year old Macallan . Especially when drinking neat.

Bring it up to the nose and say “hello” *sniff* “how are you” *sniff* “ quite well” *sniff* “thank you very much”
