It may seem obvious, but the best way to discover whisky is to taste it. Not to drink it. To taste it. There is a difference, as you will find out, and I hope this book will help you. Whisky is one of the most popular drinks, but, like its aroma, it may be complicated to get to know. The sheer number of distilleries in traditional whisky-making places, such as Scotland, Ireland, the USA, and Canada, can truly confuse you. And since there are also the relatively new arrivals, like Japan, Sweden, Taiwan, and Australia, the world of whisky can seem immeasurably vast. Where should one begin to tackle such a huge subject? What are the most important things to pay attention to? The key is to learn how to taste whisky. It is more than just pouring a measure and drinking it. You will certainly do that, but over time you will learn to recognize and interpret the many flavors and styles of whisky.
