The wonderful thing about whiskey... is whiskey's a wonderful thing!
Well, it's a thing anyway. And Buchanan's has A LOT of it. 2011 was my year to learn about whisky. I popped in for a Whisky Wednesday in December and was treated to a flight of 3 whiskies for $14. Note: They're available on the bar side... you'll want to be ordering some snacks with them as well!
Things I learnt:
- don't smell the whisky right out of the glass. It'll burn your nostrils. Instead, waft it from one ear to the other so you can smell the whisky properly.
- taste the whisky by itself first. Then add water and/or ice if you like.
- you can swirl your glass of whisky, like you would swirl a glass of wine, but it doesn't actually do anything.
Every week, the whisky flight changes. I'd suggest going a bit later, it's busy right after work!
