WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO DRINK your delicious liquids without looking like a peasant?

There’s no right or wrong way to drink. As long as you enjoy it, that’s all that matters. We’re serious about that. Don’t let any f*ck nugget say you’re drinking it wrong (as long as you enjoy it)

That being said, there are some techniques that can heighten the experience of drinking scotch, making it even more pleasurable. Try different glasses and different temperatures. Add a little water, or a mixer. Try a cocktail. But remember, only you know the serve that’s right for you.

Consider these few things before getting to the scotch itself.

1
FIRST, CHOOSE YOUR GLASS

A good, solid tumbler (a short glass with a heavy bottom) if you’re drinking your scotch neat, or with a little water or ice. For ‘long’ scotch drinks, use a ‘highball’ – a tall, slim, straight-sided glass.

2
TAKE A MOMENT TO INHALE THE AROMA

A huge part of the flavor of food and drink comes from the way it smells – and scotch is no exception. Enjoying the aroma of scotch can be hugely rewarding.

3
TAKE A SIP

Savor the flavor by allowing the scotch to roll over your tongue, before letting it slip smoothly down.

4
TAKE YOUR TIME

A good scotch will present a whole range of flavors and scents – many of which you may find familiar. Also, keep in mind we’re drinking straight fucking liquor all fucking night. You GOT time. Pace yourselves and be gracious to the host. The flavors experienced are unique to each person, with certain elements being stronger to some than others. Discussing the flavors you discover with friends is one of the many joys of drinking scotch.
