The Flavour Map makes it easy to
identify where the subtle similarities
and distinct differences can be found,
so you can explore the whisky landscape
with confidence.
On the vertical axis, whiskies are
plotted as to how smoky or delicate they
are, while the horizontal axis plots
whiskies on their light or rich
qualities.
If, for example, you love Royal
Lochnagar (both light and delicate) you
might enjoy the nuances of Glen Elgin or
Dalwhinnie. Or for a complete contrast,
go for a malt from the other side of the
map, such as the smoky and rich
Lagavulin.
Whether you’re shopping for yourself or
trying to buy a gift for a friend, think
of the map as a starting point for new
discoveries. By all means go straight
from A-Z, but it’s much more fun if you
meander a little. The important thing is
to enjoy the journey.
