Foreshot Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-04-11/how-to-improve-your-sense-of-smell-and-why-you-d-want-to Curious - how many of you have tried the sense kits? I haven't yet. I found the thing that has helped me most with nosing/tasting was trying a wide variety of different whiskeys. I'm still not where I want to be with it but am slowly getting better.

JNorris Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I have used the wine aroma kit during a WSET class. https://www.wsetglobal.com/ I do not think the kit made me a better sensory person; experience with many different kinds of alcohols did. And was fun! Wine is much easier to nose than spirits, so if you want to "exercise" your nosing abilities, I would start there first, then move to spirits.

Foreshot Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 Thanks for the advice, I'll try that. I'm not a wine person but my wife is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNorris Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 You might be surprised at how complex wine can be, well good, dry wine. Just an FYI, good wine is not meant to be drank alone, have it with a meal or some snacks and see how the food affects the flavors of the wine. Try it with and without food to test this. I find that some foods are actually enhanced by a good wine pairing. But beware, you may become a pretentious foodie after this, if you aren't already.
