English term or phrase: a sipping malt
Bonjour,

Il s'agit de notes de dégustation de whisky.

Knockando 18 Years Old is what they call a sipping malt.

Voici ce que j'ai trouvé pour "sipping malt" :

Sipping Whiskey is a term used to describe a whiskey that is quite smooth and easy to drink with no harsh 'bite' on the palate or throat when you swallow. It is meant to be sipped and savoured.

J'avais d'abord pensé à "whisky de dégustation" mais cela exclurait les autres whiskies (moins doux) qui sont aussi des whiskies à déguster. J'ai aussi pensé à "whisky à siroter" mais bon je ne suis pas convaincue.

Merci pour vos idées !

disagree  Joco: Gouleyant signifie frais et léger; pour un whisky, ça ne convient pas.
