Tasting tags

With this form you can tag the flavours of the whisky you've tasted. Most whiskies contain several flavours which can be extract and analysed with this form.
While there are only four primary tastes (sweet, sour, salty and bitter) there are 30+ primary aromas, and we can detect some of them diluted to one part in a trillion.

Use the sliders to set the amount of flavour in the whisky. 1 means a hint (a little) and 5 means a lot.

Color		Amber
Nose	Sweetness, fruitiness, and a mild smokiness, as good as it gets!
Taste	Nice smoky flavor, but there are also very floral tones.
Finish	A long finish, there is lots of smoke .. It keeps you warm, i promise.
Comments	This is a great whiskey. And I prefer the smoky Brora's in front of the floral and sweet ones.

Color		Chestnutoloroso sherry
Nose	Le nez est particulièrement fermier et dégage une douce chaleur animale : odeurs d'écurie, de crottin de cheval, de vieux cuir. Des arômes fumés également (sauce barbecue, lard fumé), ainsi qu'une tourbe assez marine (iode) et des parfums capiteux (musc). L'ensemble n'est cependant pas dénué de fruité ni de douceur (mangues et ananas rôtis baignant dans la crème). Grandiose. Avec de l'eau : l'aspect animal et fermier devient encore plus présent, avec des notes de saucisses de Francfort à la moutarde, un vrai hot-dog ! Les fruits sont alors relégués au second plan sans pour autant disparaître. Un festival d'épices fait aussi son apparition : piment doux, curry, garam masala.
Taste	La texture est grasse et colle au palais. Les saveurs sont inextricablement liées, parfaitement fondues les unes dans les autres. On retrouve les fruits exotiques, mais pris dans une gangue fumée et poivrée, bardés de poitrine fumée et salée. Un mélange détonnant et somptueux. Avec de l'eau : le boisé et les épices se font sentir, ainsi qu'une légère amertume. Je le préfère sec.
Finish	Interminable et chaude, épicée et fumée, avec toujours cette note exotique qui n'en finit pas. Le crépuscule des Dieux.
Comments	Ca tue sa maman. Ni plus ni moins.
"I can resist anything but temptation." O. Wilde
