Size it up. Pour the tan fluid into a “small fluted glass with a stem.” This “concentrates” the flavors of the whiskey, so that you can better appreciate its “delicate aromas.” Hold the glass up to the light and “admire” the color.
Swirl gently. Rotate the glass “once or twice” until there’s a ring around the perimeter. Watch the whiskey’s “legs”—the longer it takes these tiny particles to slide down the glass, the better the quality of your drink.
