Regardless of style, neutrality of base spirit in Gin is extremely important. Off-notes from impurities and/or contamination cause adverse effect on aroma & flavour profile, consistency and stability and influence the sensory quality of final products.
The presentation will highlight importance of sensory training and proficiency validation by practising retro-nasal tasting using safe-to-taste GMP Pharma-compliant flavour references for sustained quality and consumer satisfaction.
