How to Taste & Nose Whiskey | Beardly Bourbon’s Method for Beginners & Enthusiasts

Ever wonder how to really taste whiskey? How to nose it? How to grow your palate over time?
In this video, I walk you through my personal whiskey tasting method — the same approach I use every time I pop open a new bottle, whether it’s bourbon, rye, Scotch, or Irish whiskey.

🟤 Topics Covered:
✅ What is nosing?
✅ Why glassware matters (I prefer a Glencairn)
✅ How to train your palate over time
✅ Why each nostril picks up different scents
✅ Why cracking your mouth while nosing is crucial
✅ The zones of your palate — and how to use them
✅ Why there's no wrong answer when tasting

This isn't about getting drunk — it's about drinking with intent, picking up new flavors, and evolving your personal whiskey journey.

Whether you're just getting started or looking to refine your approach, I hope this helps you trust your palate and enjoy whiskey on your own terms.

👃 “Your left nostril is usually better for sweet, your right for savory. Try it.”
🧠 “You’re never wrong. If you taste Dr. Pepper and a Cow Tail? That’s what you taste.”
🥃 “Taste. Nose. Repeat. That’s how your palate grows.”
