Whisky Delivery Nairobi – How To Enjoy Whiskey Like A Gentleman
Did you know what you drink defines who you are? Ladies are known to drink wine, guys are known to drink beer but real gentlemen drink whiskey. Whisky is a dark spirit made from ageing a distillation of fermented grain mash. The ageing must be done in wooden casks which are sometimes charred. There are different categories of whisky depending on production method, country of production, style of whisky, how long the whisky is aged, grains used to produce the whisky and also whether the whiskey is flavoured or not. These six factors are the ones that influences whiskey prices in Kenya. In this article, we will talk about the seven tips on how to enjoy whisky like a gentleman. These tips will distinguish you from whisky amateurs and make you a whisky aficionado.
1. Pick your whisky wisely
The following are the main categories of whisky and within this categories, there are different brands. Different types of whisky have different taste so you might have to try all of them before you choose to settle down with one type of whisky.

2. Know How To Drink Your Whisky
There are several ways you can enjoy your glass of whisky. However, you must have the recommended whisky glasses for you to enjoy the thrilling experience of drinking whisky. Different whisky brands have their recommended whisky glasses though there are general whisky glasses which are accepted for drinking whisky. Some whisky distilleries have gone a further step and branded their own glasses to ensure you feel a full attachment to their whisky brand. There is one golden rule while drinking whisky; don’t fill the glass. By ensuring the glass of whisky is at most half full gives whisky a room to breathe giving you a chance to inhale the flavours as you sip your whisky.
Let’s now focus on the main business of ensuring we enjoy maximum flavours of whisky when it goes down our thirst throat. The four ways you could enjoy whisky are as follows;
- Drink the whisky neat – this is where you drink the whisky the way it is. You just pour it in the glass and sip it. This is mostly known with whiskey aficionados because they love the strong taste and smell of whisky.
- Drink the whisky on the rocks – this is another way to expose the flavours of the whisky. The ice cubes chill the whisky and dilute it slightly cutting out that burning effect. First, put the ice cubes on the glass then add the whisky on top.
- Drink whisky with water – you can expose some great flavours of whisky by adding some spring water or any still water to a glass with some whisky. Remember you only need to dilute the whisky a little bit, therefore, only add some little water. The water that will be added to the whisky needs to be at the same temperatures as the whisky because cold water might kill some good flavours of the whisky.
- Drink whisky with chasers – besides water, there are other chasers that are great while drinking whisky. Some of the common chasers that are used with whiskey are tonic water, soda water, sodas, lime juice, fruit juices and beers.
3. Check The Age Of Whisky
This is one of the most important things for any whisky enthusiast. The older the whisky, the better the quality. However, there is a misconception around the colour of the whisky making us believe that the darker the whisky the better the quality. It is this misconception that has driven some whisky distilleries to add caramel on their whisky brands to make them look darker and appealing. In the real sense, the colour of the whisky is only supposed to tell us the wood barrel used to age the whisky because whisky takes the colour barrel in which it is aged. Some whisky like Macallan is not flavoured with caramel hence they look more clear yet they are full of flavours. Single malt whiskies and most of the blended whiskies have the number of the years they are aged indicated on the bottle. The reason for aged whiskies to have higher quality is due to evaporation of water while ageing in the barrels and also gaining more flavours from the wood during ageing. Some distilleries age their whisky in three different barrels to ensure the whisky has better flavours. To be realistic, you don’t expect great whisky that cost cheap. High-quality whiskies are expensive, smooth and have awesome flavours.
4. Take Whisky Any Time
Whisky is not for special times like birthdays, graduations and those other events that are memorable. Let those events be kept aside for popping a bottle of champagne or a high-quality sparkling wine. Any time is whisky drinking time...you might even take a sip of a high-quality whisky after breakfast before you step out for a long day. The great thing about whisky is that it gives someone the confidence of facing anything and also gives a relaxing effect when sipped in the evening after a long busy day. Find out that particular awesome whisky that will give awesome feeling any time you sip it. You could choose to enjoy single malt whisky or blended whisky. For single malt whisky, they are strong in smell and every distillery have a particular taste that is used as the trademark for that distillery. On the other hand, blended whiskies are a bit chilled and are mild in taste though they have more flavours gained from blending grain whisky and single malt whiskies. However, single malt whiskies are generally expensive than the blended whiskies though there are specially blended whiskies that are really expensive like Johnnie Walker Odyssey @ Ksh 150,000 and Johnnie Walker King George V @ Ksh 75,000.
