This is the whisky nosing kit that provides detailed, expert instruction and sample aromas for identifying subtle scents and nuances of whiskies. Developed by whisky experts and an aroma scientist in the Highlands of Scotland, where the finest malt Scotch whiskies have been distilled for over 500 years, the set includes 12 vials of sample aromas commonly found in whisky including mild wood smoke, freshly cut logs, and vanilla, and a 36-page booklet that teaches nosing and tasting techniques. The included strips of absorbent paper are placed into the sample aromas, and aspiring whisky connoisseurs smell the strips every few minutes to train their olfactory system for scents they will encounter when nosing and tasting whisky. The aroma vials store in a foam padded gift box. 6 1/4" L x 5 3/4" W x 4 1/4" H. (1 3/4 lbs.)
