Whisky glasses and accessories

How to conduct a whisky tasting?

There's a whole process involved in enjoying whisky to the full! First, before you start, place your cooling base or whisky stones in your freezer to cool. When your bar accessories are ready, take them out of the freezer and place your base under your whisky glass or your stones in the glass. Pour your favorite whisky into your tasting glass and wait a few minutes to let it air out. The tasting temperature of a whisky is around 21°C. Once you've reached this temperature, you can start tasting your whisky! Start by observing the color, smelling the aromas and then savoring the delicious flavors in your glass! Once you've finished, take a whiff of your empty glass, as the heaviest whisky aromas are present.

Why use a whisky glass?

Whisky glasses are ideal for tasting spirits thanks to their shape! In fact, if you're looking for the ultimate tasting experience, a tulip-shaped whisky glass is ideal. These are chimney-shaped glasses, with the top of the glass narrowing in relation to the bottom. This allows the whisky to be aerated more easily, releasing only the finest aromas and those with character. This whisky tasting glass then releases the aromas in the upper part of the glass. You can also opt for Selbrae House whisky glasses with their authentic, unique design for an original gift idea! They're perfect for preparing aperitifs in a convivial atmosphere!
