Developing a Tasting Vocabulary with Fred Minnick

Enjoying whiskey engages all your senses, but taste is
undoubtedly the most difficult to define. Sight, smell and memory
all feed into our taste. On this episode of Around the Barrel,
host Lucas Hendrickson joins veteran whiskey journalist Fred
Minnick to learn more about the time and practice needed to
develop a whiskey vocabulary to articulate this concept of taste,
how a person’s palate can be as unique as a fingerprint and how
his years as a whiskey expert have spawned a slew of magazine,
book and video creations that explore whiskey from different
angles.
