Just as a sommelier knows that the aroma associated with a wine greatly affects its taste, so too does any whisky connoisseur recognize the importance of scents. The Le Nez du Whisky is here to help any whisky lover develop a keen sense of smell via a collection of 54 unique aromas. The aromas combined with the accompanying book are designed to train and enrich olfactory memories, improve whisky analysis, and encourage the exploration of whiskies that stretch from the highlands to the farthest global reaches.
Move beyond the party trick of pulling the cork out of a bottle with a napkin or tying a cherry stem into a knot with your tongue and instead impress with your knowledge of the best whiskies. From recognizing aromas to learning the perfect adjective to describe your tasting experience, Le Nez du Whisky is the tool that you need to expand your understanding of what makes a fine whisky. Scotsman Charles MacLean and French gastronomy and spirits journalist Martine Nouet will be your guides as you begin to recognize the unique attributes of each aroma. Through this journey you will be able to use your olfactory senses to unravel the DNA of this fantastic spirit. Does it hail from the Scottish coasts or is it made in the backwoods of a farming town? The answers and more are yours for the taking thanks to Le Nez du Whisky.
