This festival season we’re asking the question: Are you into flavour or regionality? Earlier this week, we focused on the regionality side of the debate. Today we’re talking about all things flavour.

One of the benefits of navigating whisky by flavour is that it’s based on your own experience and that experience doesn’t necessarily need to include whisky. It’s in the foods you’ve grown up with, the new dishes you’ve tried while travelling, or scents that are entirely more universal such as flowers in bloom, freshly cut grass or woodsmoke.

Our eight flavour profiles are designed to help you navigate the wide world of whisky the Society offers – whether it’s a new and unfamiliar cask type or a distillery you haven’t tried. And even if you prefer regionality, there’s nothing make you choose one over the other.  In fact, you might even use both!
