Amber Glen Scotch Whisky Nosing Goblet

Nosing & Tasting Scotch Whisky

Nosing & Tasting Scotch Whisky Nosing or Tasting Scotch whisky is an art form that anyone with a good sense of taste & smell can master. To begin with, take a good long sniff of the back of your hand to clear the pathway of your olfactory sensors Then pour a wee drop of Amber Glen into your snifter or nosing glass. (Do Not Swill the whisky around the glass) Follow these 3 steps STEP 1. COLOUR & BODY: Hold the glass by the bottom of the stem and hold it in front of you slightly above your head at a 45º angle and gently spin the glass. Note the viscosity of the oily tears that run gently down the back of the glass. STEP 2. SNIFF: Keep the glass perfectly flat and sniff 3 times at intervals of 3 to 5 seconds between each sniff. Note the following: 1st Sniff “The Nozzle” – a slight tingling sensation 2nd Sniff “The Aroma” – Floral – Sweet – Smokey – Earthy – Woody 3rd Sniff “The Flavour” – Vanilla – Butterscotch – Citrus fruit – Dried fruit – Raisins – Berries- ChocolateThe above are just some of the smells and tastes that Amber Glen Scotch whisky embodies, your nose and palate may discover some others. STEP 3. SIP: Take a small sip, then Chew and Bite the whisky 3 times on each side and roof of your mouth, so that your whole palate salivates and gathers over the centre of your tongue, then slowly swallow down the whisky. Note: Think about the aromas & flavours and the tingling warming sensation as you swallow down the whisky. Amber Glen embodies the flavours and aromas of a time gone by in a celebration of perfection for you to enjoy. Slàinte!
