any tips for cleansing the palate inbetween drams?

[Tom W]

Hi guys,

recently I've had a few sessions with 3 or more different drams involved and although I do try to create a sensible order sometimes I feel the whisky isn't as good as if I had it on its own or with just one other. Normally I just rinse the glass and have a mouthful of water and wait a bit but I have seen on here that some people try oatcakes and stuff. Basically anything that would cleanse the palate when I move from region to region or cask strength to 40% etc.

cheers,

tom

I normally just use water to cleanse my palate but when i have been tasting a few different drams in a short period i find oatcakes do help.

Normally just half fill my glass with water and clense my palate with it.
Some tastings i have been to offer oak cakes and shortbread.
also tablet and dark chocolate have been used also.
one even done a sweet and sour tating with the drams using tablet and lime!

Just dont take a drink of water while chewing on an oatcake or you will have instant porridge in your mouth
