Webinar Summary

Across the global whisky sector there is an increasing demand for products presenting novel or unique aroma characteristics. Although the umbrella sensory term ‘fruityʼ has received considerable attention within the published literature, it contains subdescriptors that are less well explored. One such fruit-type lexicon term is that of ‘mangoʼ. This webinar explores research seeking to identify some of the factors that contribute to the presence of this novel mango-type aroma property in whisky with further discussion around how development of this trait might be controlled.


Learning Objectives

  • Introduction to whisky production and aroma properties
  • Sensory exploration of factors contributing to mango/tropical-type aroma in whisky
  • Discussion of potential sources of contributory aroma volatiles/precursor compounds.
