Why This Matters
If you’ve ever sipped whiskey and thought:
- “All I taste is burn.”
- “I don’t know what I’m supposed to be looking for.”
- “I waste money on bottles I don’t even like.”
You’re not alone. Most beginners feel overwhelmed by whisky. With so many styles, terms, and strong opinions, it’s easy to feel lost.
