The Whisky Flavour Tree Poster – Simplify Your Whisky Tasting

The Whisky Flavour Tree Poster is a flowchart-style whisky tasting guide designed to make exploring whisky flavours easy. Unlike traditional whisky wheels filled with complex terminology, this poster simplifies tasting into three core categories:

  • Rich & Spiced – Usually, Sherry-cask whiskies with notes of dried fruit, caramel, and spice.

  • Fruit & Floral – Usuall,y Ex-bourbon cask, spiritforward whiskies with apple, vanilla, and honey notes.

  • Peaty & Smoky – Often Islay-style single malts featuring campfire smoke and seaweed.

For adventurous drinkers, it also includes:

  • Wood & Grain – Bourbon-style notes like toasted nuts and oak.

  • Heavy Funk – Think Campbeltown-style umami, sulphur, and farmyard notes.

Why This Poster?

Most whisky flavour wheels are designed for industry professionals, not everyday whisky lovers. As a whisky enthusiast with 300+ bottles, I created this poster to:

  • Make whisky tasting simple and intuitive.

  • Help you start broad and narrow flavours down naturally.

  • Look great in a home bar or whisky lounge.

Available in A1 and A2 sizes (frames not included). Perfect for whisky lovers, collectors, and gifts.
