But how to drink whiskey without adding other types of wine but drinking only, or drinking with ice / adding a few drops of water is actually the way that can feel the best taste of the original wine. The best way to enjoy them is to drink them straight, even without using ice to feel every bit of the essence of the wine.

You can see how whiskey experts are used to doing things like tilting a glass of wine to watch the color of the wine, smell the wine, put the wine in the mouth to taste, swallow, feel the aftertaste ... In all those simple steps, actually hiding many meanings.

Tipping the whiskey glass a bit in the light is not just to admire the color of the whiskey you are drinking, but also a habit passed down by whiskey drinkers centuries ago. While whiskey began to be mass-cooked and sold without control or quality control, many of the bottles of wine could be seen when poured into a glass.

Usually, the higher the alcohol content in the wine, the more the drop of alcohol will match. When you hold a glass of wine and shake or flick it slightly, you will understand how the small layers of wine rolled around the edge of the glass.

Watching the color of whiskey requires a great deal of knowledge about how different brands of whiskeys from around the world are made. The longer the wine is left in the barrel, the darker the color. However, not every bottle of dark whiskey is a long-standing soaked wine.

If you notice, in the "genuine" whiskey bar, they use a specific type of stone, long tan and bartenders will use scrapers to poke them into spheres before placing in the glass of whiskey.
