Palate Cleanser

1
Begin with the lighter offerings and work your way up to the heavier, headier choices.

2
Eat white bread or crackers and sip unflavored water.

3
Pause between tasting to allow your palate time to "breathe." Clearing your mouth of one taste allows you to better appreciate the next one.

4
Wait to have a meal until after the tasting.

5
Skip mints, gum or candy until after the tasting.

Excellent scotch tasting advice! Always start speyside, highlands, then work your way to Islay and cask strength offerings.
