Use the whisky compass

Four choices provide a useful first direction. There is no right answer; your taste leads.

How much smoke do you enjoy?

From fresh and unpeated to deeply smoky.

Six flavour axes, each from 0 to 10. 100% means equal scores; 0% the maximum distance. This is neither a quality score nor a probability that you will like a whisky. In the compass, preferred alcohol strength affects the ranking, not the flavour percentage.
