Master Notes


With the objective of “democratising our scientific approach to whisky”, our Master Notes reveal our knowledge, available to both professionals and amateurs. Every two months, immerse yourself in the world of whisky production through a collection of eight themes: raw materials, brewing, distillation, maturation, aromas, structure, tasting and R&D.

At the same time subtle and complex, whisky is a product that fascinates the creator just as much as the person tasting. The scientific research carried out over the past few years has enabled us to better understand and apprehend the technical elements of its conception, in order to reveal its sensory characteristics as faithfully as possible.
