The aromas are classified in families on the book's companion aroma wheel.

This illustrated and instructive book recounts the story and secrets of making American whiskey, largely unknown beyond the borders of its birthplace. What is a straight American whiskey? Or sour mash? What effect does using barrels made from American oak (Quercus alba) bring?

The foreword is written by Chris Morris, master distiller at Woodford Reserve and a famous name in bourbon circles who created the American whiskey aroma wheel more than 20 years ago.

Renowned journalists and authors Hans and Becky Offringa aka The Whisky Couple tell the fascinating story of American whiskey, from the origins of the distilling process to the current proliferation of craft distillers via the dark days of the Prohibition era.

An impressive map of the United States identifies 122 distilleries whose bourbons and  whiskeys are listed by aroma group in the book's last chapter.

AROMABAR OF OAKED WINE SCENTS

The small oak barrel helps red wine, as well as some white wines, to develop additional aromas and tannins. It makes the wines more complex and tenable. The aromas that develop in oak barrels include notes of vanilla and liquorice, as well as roasted aromas such as coffee, toast, caramel and chocolate. The most tenable and noble wines all develop ´en barrique´. Get to know and appreciate these refined wines with the AROMABAR of Barrique Aromas! 12 aromas and a 24-page comprehensive brochure will show you the way.
