We do not want to destroy a good whisky. Each Whisky is tested dry without ice, water etc. and hand warm. Water have different taste around the world, so we do not use this while testing. Though some whiskies have a vol above 45% making it difficult to taste aroma and body etc., force us to use water. Is the taste very 'sharp', we might add ice afterwards. When testing we look at the bottle, label, wrap, smell, taste, aftertaste and price/quality.

How you like your whisky does not matter - as long as you enjoy it....

Btw: What do we like !HT likes the smoky ones like Lagavulin ! RF likes Talisker and GI want malty ones, CP loves sweet whiskies + hey he learned to drink Lagavulin... FS is a allrounder - almost :) Dalmore/Talisker and Lagavulin isn't his taste..  MK do not like Islay but almost anything else... (Hütte) There is some 'hang-arounds/rookies' who likes different whiskies....  : \L\1ust started learning and about to find there favorite whiskies....) 
Vi ønsker ikke at ødelægge en god Whisky med is, vand eller ligende. Hvert mærke testes tør/helt rene og ved stuetemperatur, da det fremhæver den originale smag. Desuden kan en Whisky virke grumset hvis den er kold, hvilket forsvinder når den lunes lidt. Da vand har forskellig smag / kalkindhold etc. bruges dette ikke i denne test. Dette betyder dog ikke at nogle whiskies kan 'vinde' med lidt vand i !!! - smagen 'flyder' lidt mere ud... (og whiskien varer længere... he.he..) Vi må indrømme at Balvenie Single Barrel og Glengoyne Vintage med 48-50% alkohol er lige skrappe nok uden vand. 'Bidder' den, forsøges der evt. med is, for at tage toppen af den en skarpe smag - det hæmmer desværrer smagsnuancerne. Ved ovenstående pointgivning er der taget hensyn til duft, smag, eftersmag og pris i forhold til kvalitet. - - - NB : Hvem kan lide hvad. Må lige indskyde at HT er til Lagavulin og de røgede, så er der RF til Talisker, GI til dem med malt men lidt røg eller 'karakter' gør heller ikke noget , CP til de søde + hov nu også humørdrikker af Lagavulin..., og FS som er allrounder med undtagelse af  Dalmore/Talisker og Lagavulin.  Så har vi 'hang-arounds/rookies' som er til lidt af hvert...  (De er ved at lære og finde deres favoritter...)  - - - (Satser på at opdele med point efter kategori.)

The test above is made by different people with different taste
Some of us have been drinking whisky for a long periode of time others have just been started. 
The points given is based on our first impression and is only ment to be a guideline. (Taste is different.) 
It's our plan to make a Top-10 hitlist with our and Your favorite whiskies... 
This requires a woting note, that you can send from this url followed by some administration. 
It might take some time because these pages is made in my sparetime. 
If your have some html source that can do the above, I would be very happy if you would send it to me... 
BTW : We do NOT sell whisky/bourbon !
Ovenstående test er foretaget af flere forskellige personer, med 'forskellig' smag. 
Nogle af os har drukket whisky/boubon længe, andre er lige startet. 
Point er baseret på vores førstehåndsintryk, og er kun ment som en vejlledning. (Vi har jo alle forskellig smag.) 
Det er planen at denne side i fremtiden skal indeholde en top 10 over vores foretrukne whiskies og jeres. 
Dette kræver dog at jeg / vi får lavet en stemme seddel I ville kunne udfylde og efterfølgende administration. 
Har du noget html kode eller ligende der ville kunne bruges som stemmeseddel ville jeg blive ovenud lykkelig, hvis du sender det til mig. 
Da disse sider bliver lavet i min fritid.(Hvilket man jo aldrig har nok af. ) må i bære over med mig indtil da, og nøjes med ovenstående. 
NB.: Vi sælger IKKE  whisky/bourbon.
