🥃 How to Taste Whisky Like a Pro: A Guide for Enthusiasts of Boiling Crowd & Stay On Deluxe

Whisky isn’t just a drink — it’s an experience. For true connoisseurs and curious beginners alike, learning how to taste whisky like a pro can elevate your appreciation of every pour. Whether you’re sipping the bold and rich Boiling Crowd Premium Whisky or the smooth sophistication of Stay On Deluxe Whisky, this guide will take you through each step of the tasting journey.

🔥 1. Choose the Right Glass

Start with a tulip-shaped whisky glass or a Glencairn glass. The narrow opening helps trap the aromas, allowing you to appreciate the full bouquet of Boiling Crowd’s intense character or Stay On’s refined elegance.

👀 2. Observe the Colour

Hold the glass up to the light and admire the whisky’s color.

• Boiling Crowd Premium Whisky offers a deep amber tone — a promise of bold, smoky layers.

• Stay On Deluxe Whisky might lean towards golden hues, hinting at a smoother, fruitier profile.

Color can give hints about the cask aging, ingredients, and strength.

👃 3. Nose the Whisky (Smell It)

Gently swirl the glass, then bring it to your nose. Inhale gently with your mouth slightly open.

• Boiling Crowd gives off bold notes of oak, spice, and charred caramel.

• Stay On Deluxe delights with aromas of vanilla, honey, and a soft floral lift.

Take your time — identifying scents is half the fun of whisky tasting.

👅 4. Taste – The First Sip

Take a small sip and let it sit on your tongue. Don’t rush. Explore how it feels and tastes:

• Boiling Crowd Premium Whisky strikes the palate with depth and warmth — smoky, peppery, and intense.

• Stay On Deluxe Whisky is creamy, slightly sweet, and exceptionally smooth.

Note the texture, balance, and alcohol warmth. Try to identify sweetness, bitterness, saltiness, and spice.

🌀 5. The Finish

A pro always waits for the finish — the lingering flavors after you swallow.

• Boiling Crowd leaves a long, warming finish with hints of toasted wood and dark chocolate.

• Stay On fades gently with subtle citrus and a clean, mellow aftertaste.

A good finish is a mark of a quality whisky — both of your brands deliver it brilliantly.

🧊 Bonus Tip: Try It With a Few Drops of Water

Adding a drop or two of water can open up hidden flavors, especially in Boiling Crowd, where the intensity can mellow into something new. Stay On becomes even silkier, revealing layers of fruit and spice.

Whether you’re at a party or a quiet evening alone, tasting whisky is about enjoyment and discovery. Boiling Crowd Premium Whisky is for those who love bold adventures, while Stay On Deluxe Whisky is the perfect partner for elegance and ease.
