"Le Nez du Whisky" (The Nose of Whiskey),

 

"Le Nez du Whisky" (The Nose of Whiskey), a premier olfactory training kit created by Jean Lenoir. Designed for both amateurs and professionals, this educational tool helps users decode the aromatic alphabet of single malts and world whiskies.

The masterkit includes:
  - 54 Aroma Vials: Numbered bottles containing stable essences that accurately recreate scent molecules found in whisky.
  - An Illustrated Book: A comprehensive guide detailing the sense of smell, distillation techniques, and a global whisky map.
  - An Aroma Wheel: A visual index to help classify perceptions during tastings.

The 54 fragrances are organized into categories such as Floral, Fruited, Woody and Spicy, Grain, and Phenolic and Marine notes to help structure olfactory memory.

To get the most out of the kit, the recommended training routine involves blind tastings and categorizing scents by family. Practicing with 10 vials a day is suggested to build and refine your skills.
