Send us a text In this episode you'll learn how product taste testing went from a status driven lottery (where one mythical taster/ "man from Del Monte" could decide on the quality of a whole batch) to a systematic quality tool for companies to improve their products and people. After a brief break, we return with an in-person interview with Richard Boughton and Tom Brown from FlavorActiv, the leading sensory solutions company. We discuss how the "dream job" of product tasting in a brewery/winery/distillery is actually so different from the external perception. Less glamorous , more demanding, harder and lonelier, product tasting is never the less, the most essential of all quality procedures. FlavourActiv have been central to the understanding how a systematic and scientific approach to taster training, evaluation and monitoring has revolutionised our industry. Listen as Tom and Richard discuss, AI advances, "Robot Noses" and why wine is still a challenging industry to apply the scientific method to.

Send us a text In this episode you'll learn how brands like Jameson and Guinness invest in their future by entrusting their past to Archivists. It's exceptionally rare to get Diageo and Pernod Ricard to agree on anything (!) but the importance of brand archives is central to both Guinness and Irish Distillers. Eibhlin Colgan and Carol Quinn sat down in the Connoisseur Bar in the Guinness Storehouse to explain that a corporate archive is central to preserving and enhancing brand value. Archives can do so much, from providing insights for current marketing campaigns to informing CSR work to inspiring new product development with stories of previous successes/failures. Carol and Eibhlin share stories and tales from the past but explain how even modern start ups need to be thinking about creating an archive if they are to build value into the future. PS Don't use Sellotape to stick papers into records you are archiving, ask a professional!
