    Can A Wine Aroma Kit Make Me Better At Tasting Tequila?

    an a wine aroma kit actually make me better at tasting tequila? In this video, I test The Wine Savant Nosing Kit, a professional sommelier aroma training kit designed to improve aroma recognition and tasting ability. I’m starting a brand-new weekly series called Training My Tequila Nose to see if training your palate and nose can help identify more detailed tequila tasting notes like citrus, vanilla, black pepper, minerality, caramel, leather, cinnamon, cooked agave, and more. Today I test myself completely blind using professional aroma samples and compare those aromas to real tequila tasting experiences. This series is all about improving tequila tasting skills, sensory training, aroma recognition, and learning how professional tasters develop their palate. Whether you love additive-free tequila, high-proof tequila, bourbon, whiskey, wine, or coffee, this type of sensory training can completely change the way you experience flavor and aroma.

    Lost Lore Reposado | Vine Pair's Top 30 Pick

    Lost Lore Reposado review from NOM 1414 — recently named a VinePair Top 30 tequila pick.
