A good single malt is reminiscent of the smoky and peaty soils of the Scottish highlands where it originates. Enjoying Scotch or a quality single malt is a very personal and dignified experience.
According to Gentleman’s Gazette, the vessel in which a Scotch whisky or a single malt is served is just as important as the beverage.
While sipping on a single malt, you can enjoy it neat but with the increasing popularity of iced drinks, adding a cube or two of ice to a rocks glass is quite in vogue.
Other components like looks and smells are important as you drink the single malt. Swirl the whisky when poured into a glass to assess its cloudiness because the cloudier the whisky, the more elevated its flavour.
Go for fruity or Speyside style whiskies if you want a less smokier version in your cocktails. And you can always add plenty of citruses like a lemon wedge or orange juice that would elevate the intensity of these carefully crafted spirits.
You can also use blends like sweet vermouth or cherry brandy while making cocktails that incorporate quality malts.
