How to drink whiskey
There are two great benefits to learning how to drink whiskey: 1) It tastes better. 2) You look really sophisticated. Wired helps us out with a little tutorial. The first three steps are:
1. Secure a tulip glass and pour yourself a dram.
2. Swill the whiskey, letting it coat the glass. This encourages evaporation and brings out the aromas.3. Inspect the colour.
Check out Wired for the whole lesson. And make sure to do each step very deliberately in front of friends—big, swooping gestures come in handy. Really helps with benefit number two.

PS whisky and whiskey are different - whisky is Scotch (although sometimes Canadian or Japanese!) - whiskey is Irish and also Bourbon. Ime the only single malts are Scotch - very smooth and totally different from the rawness of others. Irish whiskey is imo akin to a Scotch blend in flavour and much less raw in flavour than Bourbon.
Now I will duck for cover :)
