How to Drink Whisky with Richard Paterson

Training video commissioned by Whyte and Mackay designed to teach Duty Free staff the finer points of selling whisky!

[@Shomskee]

I've tried this last night. I spoke to my glass of whiskey saying hello... How are you... Very well thanks. The people in the bar thought I was crazy.

This guy taught me on my WSET Diploma course. Funnily enough it's the one lecture I can distinctly remember. He asked us about whether to put ice in whisky .He said "I'll show you what to do with ice" he got some ice, put it in his glass and threw it at us! Legend

If you are adding water to the whisky, why not just clean the glass with water just before you use it?

[@gamenut112]

the water as you may or may not know is take the "intensity" down aka the alcohol content like say 40% if you can handle it thats fine but some people like to bring it down just a tad to say 20% so its not as intense

[@Assenayo]

***** wrong. Adding water actually brings out the flavours in the whisky as a chemical reaction. 2 drops of water is all you need, and that won't really take the alcohol volume down by any noticeable degree.

[@gamenut112]

The Gooch ah okay thank you for clearing that up for me.

[@MrCmon113]

If you want to bring it down to 20%, you need to drink 50% water, 50% whiskey. I don't think anyone does that. A little water is enough.

I agree. I don't doubt this guy knows his stuff, but I'll never add water to my whiskey, and I sure wouldn't throw it out to clean the glass.

[@slickstrings]

The problem is, if you go and buy a sophisticated whisky like a dalmore 15, then throw a bunch of ice in it, you will kill most of the smell and flavour that someone else would have enjoyed. You might as well have bought johnny walker red.

[@roberts.8430]

@@slickstrings Yeah, I agree with that, too. I use whiskey rocks when I want it cold. It gives it the chill I want without watering it down.

[@slickstrings]

@@roberts.8430 if thats how you like it im not going to tell you not to, after all it is kind of refreshing, but be aware that cooling it will dull the smell and taste as well. Even without the water, if youre not aware of that already. If you havnt tried without id highly reccommend giving it a go. Hell i had nose surgery to improve my breathing and my enjoyment from the smell improved massively!

The Gooch I agree with both of you. This guy is trying to give advice to other people when he is blending tons of single malts with grain, probably adding a great deal of e150a to produce that dark color, and then comes up with a gimmick method of tasting whisky.
