HOW TO TASTE

BOURBON

Bourbon is not meant to be intimidating. But there are a few tasting methods you can apply to help you pick up aromas and flavor nuances.

When I’m assessing bourbon for competition or critiquing for a magazine, I analyze the color. The darker it is, the older the whiskey and the higher the proof; with each year in the barrel, the liquid gets a little darker. And the more water added to lower the alcohol by volume or proof, the more diluted it is and the paler in color. I score the whiskey’s color based on its vibrancy, richness, and occasional hues discovered in the swirl.
