How to Find the Right Whiskey for You

There are a lot of choices out there when it comes to whiskey. How's a person supposed to know which one is the right fit for them? Never fear, we’re here to help you sort out the wheat from the chaff and find the whiskey that’s perfect for you.

There are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind as you try to narrow down your options. The first is what kind of flavors you like. Do you prefer your whiskey profile on the sweeter side or with a bit more of a bite? Are you looking for something smoky or spicy? Once you have a general idea of the kind of flavors you like, you can start to narrow down your choices.

The second thing to consider is how you’ll be drinking your whiskey. If you’re planning on sipping it neat or on the rocks, you’ll want something that has a bit more complexity to it. But if you’re looking to mix it into a cocktail, something with simpler flavors might be a better option.

Don’t be afraid to experiment. Trying new things is half the fun! If you find yourself stumped, ask your friendly neighborhood bartender for recommendations. They’re always happy to help and they might just introduce you to your new favorite whiskey in the process. If you're still having trouble deciding, why not try a tasting event? Most liquor stores will have tasting events from time to time, and this is a great way to try a variety of whiskeys without having to commit to ottle. This is also a great opportunity to talk to other people who are passionate about whiskey and get some recommendations. 

There are a lot of great whiskeys out there and finding the right one for you is all about knowing what kind of flavors you like and how you plan on drinking it. Be adventurous and try new things—you might just find your new favorite whiskey in the process!
