Whiskey with Wes: How to taste bourbon like a pro

It has been a while since my last article. I have been kinda busy recently, mostly stressing out about the next Ole Miss loss. But it is time to get back to writing about whisk(e)y.

Most of my articles have focused on tasting and reviewing a specific whisk(e)y or type of whisk(e)y. But what if you want to do a tasting yourself? What are you looking for? Smelling for? Tasting for?

This article will teach you how to taste like a pro (or at least a jackass like me).

1. Get the right glass

For drinking, a rocks glass is just fine but for tasting, I prefer something with a lip on it in the shape of a pear not unlike how I like my women.
