Given all the restrictions these days, you might not be able to travel as freely as you’d like. This means that your regular meet ups with friends and loved ones could be postponed. Fortunately, you can still host events like a whisky tasting thanks to various online platforms. Here’s how you need to go about planning such an event.<\/p>\n

Choose your online platform<\/h2>\n

First things first, you will need to choose an online platform for your whisky tasting experience. Depending on how many of your friends and family you plan on inviting, you will need to select a platform that will allow everyone to join as if you were in a room together. You want to be able to see and hear one another so that you can discuss the different types of whisky you are trying and other current events too.<\/p>\n

Set the stage<\/h2>\n

Each participant should be provided with a list of everything they will need for the online whisky tasting. This includes whisky glasses, appropriate snacks and a notepad so that they can take note of their personal thoughts, impressions and preferences.<\/p>\n

Select your bottles<\/h2>\n

Now you need to choose the bottles for your whisky tasting. When shopping around online, you will find that there are some excellent whisky hampers that are perfect for this type of event. You could have everyone order the same hamper so that everyone has the same bottles to try! These bottles are usually of the smaller variety since they are designed for tasting rather than serving to guests.<\/p>\n

Proper tasting process<\/h2>\n

Just like wine, your whisky needs to breathe a little before you take a sip. You should also give each participant the opportunity to sip on the same whisky before sharing your thoughts. Some participants may require a second sip to wrap their taste buds around all the complex flavours.<\/p>\n

Once you have gone through all of your different types of whisky<\/a>, it’s time to vote! This is why you need a notepad whenever whisky tasting. You can rate each bottle and, at the end of the evening, tally up the scores to determine the winning whisky.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
