Enhancing the Human Senses for Spirits featuring Tess Aldredge, Principal Sensory Scientist.
In this foundational training, we will cover the human senses and focus on the five basic tastes - sour, bitter, salty, sweet, and umami, which play crucial roles in our perception of spirits. Through interactive and practical exercises, participants will learn to identify and distinguish these tastes, honing their sensory skills. By understanding these
fundamental tastes, we aim to develop a deeper connection with our spirits and foster an appreciation for their unique characteristics.
To participate please have the following items on hand:
• Sugar or honey
• Coffee, Black Tea or Soda Water
• Salt
• Pickled Vegetable or Citrus Fruit
• Soy Sauce, Parmesan Cheese or Sundried Tomatoes
• Chewable Candy
• Spirit of your Choice
