Understanding Whiskey With Your Eyes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Understanding Whiskey With Your Eyes, can your eyes deceive you when tasting whiskey? The answer is of course just like everything in life. Sight is a sense and helps you form an opinion upon sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple Tips <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Lighter whiskeys are usually from aged ex-Bourbon casks. Darker whiskeys are ex-sherry barrels, while rose or antique copper colors usually mean port. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bourbon will always be a darker color due to the charring of the barrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corn whiskey when aged is always a yellowish color because of its short aging period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the whiskeys are hazy or cloudy, it usually means that they have not been chill-filtered leaving in proteins or fatty acids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place your hand over the glass the longer the bubbles last the stronger the alcohol content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always taste by sipping from left to right side of your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pay attention to the type of glass you are using the shape can influence the color and of course the aromas and taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
