Are you Choosing the Right Spirits?
How to pick the right spirits for your tasting if you don't know what your guests like?
One of the main aspects to consider when planning a tasting is "what are the right spirits for this particular event?", and the first thing we should look at is who our audience is. But, how can we decide for guests we don't fully know? Here are some simple tips:
🥃 Pick a theme: It's best to have 4 to 6 bottles to avoid exhausting their palate. Pick a style, age, flavor profile. If you like peat, go for different level of it and different regions.
For example: In the pictures we see "world whiskies", nothing too old or extremely opposite in taste to each other, as it would be a heavily peated whisky for example. This way, guests can compare different styles, regions, oak influence, etc.
🥃 Go with the classics: Always have a well-known name in the mix, guests tend to feel more comfortable if they know at least one of the labels, and it gives them a point of comparison with the ones they don't.
🥃 Be mindful of the ABV: Nowadays it's easy to come across spirits with high and extremely high ABV's, and even though they are delicious is not everyone's cup of "tea". If you can't resist to pick one of those bottles make sure to have a water dropper to offer to "open up" your guest's spirit.
🥃 Last but not least: make sure you let us know about your tasting so we can assist you 😏
