For
the highlight of the evening, set up a whiskey bar and you will want to follow
our suggestions:
TOP 10 TIPS
1.
Guys will often have a preferred whiskey
but still be open to trying new things, so have an assortment on hand as a way
to introduce new favorites.
2.
Encourage guests to bring their more exotic
preferences along. It'll expand the assortment and keep costs down. Just make
sure everyone knows the headcount. That way there'll be plenty of everything to
go around.
3.
For
the best whiskey, look for a single malt variety that has been aged for at
least 15 years.
4.
In
addition to a Whiskey Sour, Manhattan and Godfather, try other popular cocktails that involve whiskey, including a Mint Julep or a Bourbon Highball.
5.
Try a few crossover whiskeys. They're mild enough
to keep culture shock to a minimum while introducing the palate to something
new and different.
6.
Maintain whiskey at an even temperature to keep
the flavour from changing.
7.
Serve whiskey in tumblers, especially when adding
ice or mixers. There are also tulip-shaped whiskey glasses that are wide at the
base, then taper towards the top; this glass is designed to concentrate the
aroma in the area of your nose, which should enhance your whiskey tasting.
8.
Label each glass with a stick-on chalkboard
moustache – that way everyone knows whose glass is whose and makes for fun
drinking photos.
9.
Set out coasters to protect any wooden surfaces –
these Scrabble ones are ideal for such a games night – and make a cute party
favour.
10.
One last
observation: Whiskey tastings are supposed to be fun and genial throughout.
There's no right or wrong opinion. That's why there are so many whiskeys around
to choose from.
