Introduction
Stepping into a store like Liquor Vault Goa, with row after row of bottlings from around the world, can feel overwhelming—especially if you’re newer to whiskey. But fear not. Here’s a straightforward guide to help you navigate, taste and pick what’s right for you.
1. Understand the main categories
-
Single Malt: A whiskey from one distillery, one grain. Often complex, valued, and collectible.
-
Blended Whiskey: A mix of malts and grains from multiple sources. Balanced and accessible.
-
Special Editions / Rare Bottlings: For mimicking the premium and investment-minded side of the collection.
2. Start with flavour & budget
At Liquor Vault Goa we recommend beginning with a clear budget (₹ X–₹ Y) and a flavour profile you like (smoky, fruity, sweet). That helps narrow thousands of options.
3. Ask for tasting or comparison
Our staff can help you try one or two samples side-by-side—say a peated single malt vs a party blend—to understand what you prefer. Their expertise is part of the store experience.
4. Investing or drinking? Know the difference
If you’re buying whiskey as an investment, check rarity, age, distillery, condition, market demand. If you’re buying to enjoy, check flavour, bottle size, how you’ll store/open it. Liquor Vault Goa’s rare collection is ideal for both.
5. Storage & care tips
-
Store bottles upright, away from sunlight.
-
Avoid high-heat zones (external shop windows).
-
Once opened, enjoy within reasonable time.
