The Institute of
Brewing & Distilling introduces
inaugural course for distillers.
They have just unveiled the "Spirit
Sensory Analysis" on-demand course,
which equips distillers with the
knowledge to comprehend spirit flavours
and establish an efficient sensory
analysis system within their
distilleries.
Renowned globally as a premier
institution for technical education
within the brewing industry, the
Institute of Brewing & Distilling (IBD)
has initiated an innovative self-paced
technical course, "Spirit Sensory
Analysis."
Marking the IBD's maiden venture into
continuing professional development for
distillers, this concise course caters
to distillers and quality professionals
of diverse distillery scales, all
aspiring to elevate product excellence
through sensory analysis.
Empowering participants with insights
and techniques essential for
understanding and managing spirit
flavour, the Spirit Sensory Analysis
course empowers individuals to conduct
an array of sensory tests, interpret
outcomes, and ultimately enhance their
production processes and offerings. This
engaging and interactive multimedia
course materialises through
collaboration with esteemed sensory
scientists and distillation experts,
upholding the same technical eminence
synonymous with IBD qualifications,
minus the requirement of a formal
examination.
The course includes a downloadable PDF
with technical information such as:
- The basis of
spirit flavour
- The
descriptors and thresholds of over
300 key flavour compounds
- Spirit
flavour terminology systems and
flavour wheels
- Tasting
forms for more than 10 sensory tests
- The
statistical tables, equations and
calculations to interpret test
results
The course
features text, videos, animations,
quizzes, and games to help enhance
learning. At the end of the course,
learners receive a Certificate of
Completion.
On this announcement, Stuart Howe,
Technical Learning and Development
Manager, explains: "Whatever the size of
your distillery, this course should help
you better understand spirit flavour and
to get the best value from your sensory
endeavours. It may also save you
spending money on the services of
companies providing sensory management
systems and training. We are confident
that not only will you enjoy the course,
but it will also benefit your career,
your distillery, your products, your
consumers and your sales volumes!"
Tom Shelston, IBD Chief Executive
Officer, comments: "The Spirit Sensory
Analysis Course is our 5th short course
within a year, showing the IBD
commitment to establish a richer
continuous professional development
pathway in the drinks industry. This new
short course shows our commitment to
reinforce our learning offering for the
spirits sector as this is our first on
demand technical course for distillers".
