I don’t know if it’s possible to detect all those “hints” and “notes” and so on, but does that even matter? Shouldn’t you just choose beverages by taste and be done with it?
Admittedly, I know nothing about wine or spirits. I’ve been to wine tastings, didn’t like 99% of what I came across; then tasted a moscato d’asti and decided that I liked it: light, sweet, a little bubbly. That’s it. No overtones, hints or notes.
