Analytical note
Core summary
An exploratory conference paper proposes that codified and tacit fragrance knowledge can be recombined into premium-whisky innovation.
Author argument
Exaptation across craft industries requires deliberate search, translation, and a balance between codification and embodied know-how.
Evidence assessment
Knowledge-management literature plus a French case and conceptual framework; no controlled performance or sensory validation.
Researcher synthesis
For consumer blending and sensory training, borrow methods from perfumery only where mechanisms and learning goals are explicit; preserve tacit practice through repeated calibrated trials rather than assuming vocabulary alone transfers skill.
Limitations
Exploratory case; French context; conceptual claims; uncertain generalizability to American whiskey.
Open questions
Which perfumery methods improve whiskey aroma training in blinded tests? Which expertise resists codification and requires apprenticeship?
