The Secret to Enjoying a Whisky: Follow Your Nose

How do our noses help us enjoy whisky? Turns out the nose has a
major role to play in our enjoyment of whisky, food, and life in
general. The average nose has around 400 receptors that process
aromas, and they're far more sensitive than our tongues are. Dr.
Paul Wise is a sensory researcher at Philadelphia's Monell
Chemical Senses Center, and his work focuses on how the nose and
our other senses process chemical inputs present in our daily
life. He'll take us deep inside the nose for a unique WhiskyCast
In-Depth. In the news, building a distillery on Islay wasn't
enough for Elixir Distillers, which has now purchased Speyside's
Tormore Distillery from Chivas Brothers. We'll hear from Elixir's
Sukhinder Singh on his future plans for Tormore. We'll also have
details on Sazerac's expansion in Ireland with the purchase of
Lough Gill Distillery and the rest of the week's whisky news.
