This Travel Ready Kit Will Help You Learn to Properly Nose Your Bourbon

When it comes to whiskey, there are a lot of things that go into reviews when you’re trying to appreciate the spirit you’re consuming. It’s assumed that they’re all gonna get you drunk if you consume enough, but what about tasting notes, mouth feel, the Kentucky Hug, visual appeal, viscosity, legs, and the list goes on and on. One of the most important aspects–whether you’re talking about the best whiskeys in the world or the best bang for your buck whiskeys–is the nose. “It smells like gasoline” is not an acceptable answer when it comes to nosing whiskey. You need to train your nose like you train your palate, and that’s where this Bourbon Nosing Kit comes in. This travel ready kit includes 18 different vials of all the common ingredient smells you’ll pick up from a whiskey ranging from peanut and corn to wheat and cinnamon so you can nose your bourbon, the element and then write a nosing profile like your favorite whiskey tasters.
