Take a small amount of the malt that is sufficient to "coat" and expose as much of the inside of your mouth and taste sensors as possible into the mouth. Move it around in the mouth slowly and let the vapors penetrate the sinuses as you slowly swallow. After swallowing, breathe minimally in through the mouth slowly with the mouth opening as small as possible. Then breathe out slowly through the nose in order to expose as much of the sinuses to the aromatics of the whisky. Keep the mouth partially closed with as small an opening as possible. Breathe minimally, as it will retain the aromas in the mouth and sinuses and you will note the increase of the flavors and aromatics of the malt. I like to imagine the Bell Curve and track the character revelation in this format.
