Woodford Reserve says there are more than 200 detectable flavor notes in their bourbon, which is why the wheel helps people describe what they taste.

At a bourbon tasting:

1. Look at the color
2. Smell the aromas
3. Sip slowly
4. Use the wheel to identify flavors like vanilla, orange, cinnamon, or toasted oak.

Guests love learning things like:

• “I taste vanilla and caramel.”
• “I smell orange peel and cinnamon.”

It makes the tasting interactive and fun.
