Whiskey Tasting Journal

A whiskey tasting journal for recording what you taste and building a personal reference that grows with your palate over time.

The journal includes 85 tasting scorecards for recording the whiskey's name, distillery, age, ABV, region, appearance, aromas, flavor notes, finish and rating. Each scorecard has 44 aroma checkboxes as quick prompts so you're not starting from a blank page when you're trying to name what you taste and smell.

Before the scorecards come a few introductory pages covering the basics: what to pay attention to when you taste, what color and cask size tell you, how glassware and temperature matter, why revisiting a bottle can surprise you. Then the two full-page tasting wheels, one for Bourbon and one for Scotch.

Whether you're tasting at home, visiting distilleries, comparing bottles or are just curious, the journal gives you structure without getting in the way.

It also makes a good gift for anyone who enjoys whiskey, from someone just starting to explore Scotch and Bourbon to a collector who wants to remember the good ones.

Many whiskey tasting journals are collections of scorecards containing a tasting wheel, a color guide and blank space for notes.

This one has all of that, plus 44 aroma checkboxes on each page, practical prompts that help you notice what's in the glass. And a short front section that covers the basics, so you know what you're looking for before you start.

Next come the two Scotch and Bourbon tasting wheels, followed by the pages where you record what you find.
