What style of whisky would suit me?
We’ve all got our preferences. Some people like spicy food, others only really care about dessert. Whisky is the same.
You might enjoy the bold, spicy, and sweet profile of a good bourbon whiskey or Irish single pot still whiskey. You may love the medicinal coastal smoke of Scotch whisky from Islay, or the Japanese approach of lengthening graceful blends in refreshing Highballs.
Perhaps you just think variety is the spice of life.
Whatever the case, there will be a whisky style that suits you. For example, if you love your Jack Daniel’s, then Tennessee whiskey like Uncle Nearest or bourbons such as Buffalo Trace, Wild Turkey, or Four Roses will tickle your senses.
If the sweet and smooth style of Jameson appeals, then Tullamore D.E.W, Teeling, or Roe & Co Irish Whiskey are for you.
If the bold smoke of Ardbeg gets you going, you’ll love Filthy Smoke, Seaweed & Aeons & Digging & Fire, or Port Charlotte.
What are the differences between whisky styles?
Don’t understand your bourbon from your Jack Daniel’s? Confused by the distinction between pot stills and single pot still? Wish someone would stop asking these kinds of questions and just go ahead and answer them already? Well, you’re in luck. Our Different types of whisky guide will help you understand everything you need to know about the big beautiful world of the water of life.
