The next Diploma we are launching at the Edinburgh Whisky Academy, which I founded a few years back, is the Diploma in the Art of Tasting Whisky. This is quite clearly a sensory focused course with a key focus on flavour creation, oak and olfaction. It is the olfactory system that I would like to write about today, as this is a subject area that is still reasonably misunderstood, and yet is the most vital of senses when it comes to nosing whiskies.
