The Sensory Evaluation of Spirits (Chapter 2) Questions and Answers with
Solutions UPDATED!!!
Glassware - ANSWER "An ideal glass for a general spirit tasting
is stemmed, tulip-shaped, and made of standard thin, clear
glass. As for any type of professional tasting, the glasses should
be clean, dry, and odor-free. A capacity of 6-8 ounces is enough
to hold a 1- to 1¼ -ounce serving of spirits throughout the
tasting process without spilling. A typical liqueur, port, or white
wine tasting glass will serve the purpose, although dedicated
tasters may want to invest in a collection of specialty spirit
tasting glasses such as those made by Riedel, Schott Zwiesel,
and a variety of other producers."

samples at a time. In most cases, spirits should be poured in
order of alcohol by volume, from lowest to highest, and in order
of age, from youngest to oldest.
"Spirit tasting can quickly lead to palate fatigue. For obvious
reasons, samples should be limited. A pour of 1 to 1¼ ounces
should suffice. Bottled water (preferably distilled or
demineralized) and dry, unsalted crackers are helpful to cleanse
and refresh the palate between samples. Needless to say, while
a small amount of each spirit may be swallowed to experience
the full range of sensations, spitting is highly recommended."
