Course Introduction

 

The Certificate is especially suitable for enthusiasts wishing to develop their sensory analytical skills as well as professionals who deliver whisky tastings and food pairing menus.

 

Workshop 1 - Flavour, where does it originate

Workshop 2 - Aroma Recognition & Sensory Evaluation

Workshop 3 - Seasons

Workshop 4 - Blind tasting

 

These workshops centre around the sensory enjoyment and analysis of whisky and whisky food pairing.  Candidates will learn about the origins of flavour origination in the production and maturation process before testing their aroma recognition ability and learning how to judge and score whiskies in an unbiased manner, using the newly created Edinburgh Whisky Academy Method of Sensory Analysis.  Candidates will be taught how to categorise certain styles of whisky with seasonal foods before culminating in a blind tasting where they will need to use the knowledge learnt from the workshops to create a distinct flavour profile and food pairing suggestion.
