Le Nez du Bourbon & American Whiskey — 12 Aroma Kit by Jean Lenoir

An olfactory exploration of American whiskeys, including the best-known: bourbon. Le Nez du Bourbon & American Whiskey opens up the aromatic world of America's most iconic spirit through 12 high-quality, realistic and long-lasting aromas.

The kit includes:

• 12 high-quality, realistic and long-lasting aromas
• A whiskey aroma wheel
• An illustrated book (72 pages) that serves as an informative and engaging guide

The 12 aromas: honey, rose, tobacco leaf, cherry, orange, oak, toasted almond, caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, mint and black pepper.

The book reveals the unique characteristics of American whiskeys, still largely unknown outside their country of origin. How is it made? What is straight whiskey? What is sour mash? How do barrels of North American white oak (Quercus alba) shape the flavour? The foreword is written by Chris Morris, master distiller at Woodford Reserve, who created the American whiskey aroma wheel more than 20 years ago. Renowned authors Hans and Becky Offringa — "the whiskey couple" — tell the eventful history of American whiskey, from the first European settlers through Prohibition to today's proliferation of craft distillers. An exquisite map of the United States locates 122 distilleries, whose bourbons and whiskeys are classified by aroma in the final chapter.

Made in France. Fragrances guaranteed for 5 years.
