Frequently Asked Questions

How do you pour and drink whiskey?

Pouring and drinking whiskey is a process that combines art and personal preference. To pour whiskey, gently tilt the bottle and allow the liquid to flow smoothly into the glass, typically a whiskey glass or tumbler. The pour should be controlled to avoid splashing, which can disrupt the whiskey’s aroma. When drinking whiskey, take a moment to appreciate its color and aroma before sipping. The whiskey should be sipped slowly, allowing it to coat your palate and reveal its complex flavors and finish. Some people prefer to savor whiskey neat, while others may add a few drops of water to open up its flavors.

Why do people pour a little bit of whiskey?

People often pour a little bit of whiskey to better appreciate its flavors and aromas. A smaller pour, typically around one to two ounces, allows for a more concentrated tasting experience. This approach is especially prevalent among whiskey connoisseurs who wish to evaluate the whiskey’s character, including its color, aroma, and flavor profile. Additionally, whiskey can be quite potent, and a smaller pour helps to moderate alcohol intake, making the experience more about savoring the drink rather than consuming it in quantity.

How do you pour whiskey over ice?

Pouring whiskey over ice, commonly known as serving it “on the rocks,” requires a bit of technique to preserve the whiskey’s integrity. Start by placing ice cubes in a whiskey glass; the number of cubes can vary based on personal preference. Then, gently pour the whiskey over the ice. The key is to pour slowly to prevent the whiskey from becoming too diluted too quickly. The ice chills the whiskey and, as it melts, slightly dilutes it, which can soften the intensity of the alcohol and open up some of the whiskey’s subtler flavors and aromas.

What is a small pour of whiskey called?

A small pour of whiskey is often called a “dram.” The term dram doesn’t have a precise definition and can vary regionally, but it generally refers to a pour that is smaller than a standard shot. In a casual setting, a dram might be roughly equivalent to a single ounce or a little more. The term is of Scottish origin and is commonly used in the context of Scotch whisky, but it has been adopted by whiskey enthusiasts worldwide to refer to a modest, tasting-sized pour of any whiskey.
