The nosing and tasting sections allow records for appearance, nose and taste (full strength) nose and taste (reduced) and a comments section. Sections on specialist retailers, societies and associations all involved in malt whisky will be listed along with contact names, telephone, fax, e-mail numbers and websites, and a comprehensive index of distilleries past and present with associated brand names.
