"It is an absolutely delightful whisky, smooth, complex, and well-structured, with a lovely spicy touch lingering on the palate."
"The person to whom I intend to gift this bottle does not appreciate spicy notes. Do you have any other recommendations for me?"
An ordinary scene in the life of a spirits retailer. It frequently occurs that the aromatic description of a whisky can be intimidating. Certain aromatic inclinations reassure – scents of fruits, vanilla, while others – floral and vegetal notes – captivate or intrigue; and yet, others can be daunting. This is true for peat, of course, but also for spicy undertones.

Anise, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, licorice, pepper, and even chili... These fragrances are often considered overpowering because they are associated with potent sensory memories. Whether you have strolled through the bustling and colorful aisles of the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, lingered as a child near your grandparents' pantry, or spent Sundays cooking with family, their aroma possesses a rare evocative power. Moreover, it is intimately linked to food – a realm cherished by humanity as a whole.
There's no need to feel intimidated, however. The aromas emanating from a glass of whisky, much like those from a glass of wine, are nuanced. A great Burgundy with hints of leather and animal notes has never deterred anyone; it is appreciated for what it truly is: a product of the vine. Similarly, whisky, primarily a grain-based spirit, sometimes offers a subtle spicy trail derived from its maturation in casks, but it remains centered on its raw material.

More than a succession of aromas, somewhat futile to describe as they depend on each individual's olfactory memory, a whisky is characterized by its structure, substance, density, dynamism, and texture. The scents they emit will be perceived differently; however, one thing remains immutable: its tasting has the incredible ability to enchant its enthusiasts, to transport them. It is one of life's countless pleasures that elevate it pleasantly and make it more flavorful. Ultimately, the most accurate definition of a spice.
