    In this episode of Whiskey High IQ, Brian Bailie discusses how to track and improve whiskey knowledge through journaling and ranking. He explains GolfCask’s five-point system, where whiskies are rated like golf scores—ranging from a hole-in-one (5) to a double bogey (1). He emphasizes the importance of recording details, including the whiskey name, proof, region, and tasting notes, to reflect on and improve whiskey tasting skills over time. Brian also reviews Glen Kitchy 12, describing its floral and malty notes with a sea air quality, while encouraging listeners to journal their tastings. Finally, he invites fans to the upcoming 'Irons and Oak' whiskey and golf weekend in Charlottesville, VA.
