Maybe the bacon taste was the haggis backing up on the author...

I was poking fun at the sentence by duplicating its poor construction, it was not an accident.

I get a liter once a year. it’s expensive at $600 per bottle, but there’s nothing like it. You lick the glass to get every drop at those prices. The long finish is the reason why.

I knew that water and ice would affect the flavor but I hadn’t heard that ice would lock in the aromas. I tend to let the ice chill the drink, then melt off and unlock subtle flavors.

My Scotch of choice today, preferably with one cube of ice instead of the water as suggested, as well as a fine choice of Scot:

In general, the tips they give here are similar to those for tasting wine. I’ve only had Scotch a couple times, but it was enough for me to decide I prefer single-malt to blended.
I thought the “bacon” comment was funny. Especially since I frequently pick up aromas of pot roast on a good pinot noir.

I’ve found that Jack also works wonders for a toothache.

I ordered Jim Beam in Nashville once. The bartender took a step back, glared at me and said “That’s Northern whiskey!”. “Make it Jack” I replied, sheepishly.

A good Scotch is about the only thing that will pull me away from Smirnoff triple distilled.
Just like with the Smirnoff, no ice, no water.
2 shots at the most.
No headache.

What close tag looked to you to be missing from the OP?

New whisky is clear, but gains its color from the used oak barrels during maturation. What is it about oak that is so special to wines and spirits? Why can't maple, hickory or birch be used for barrels?
