The intricate relationships between chemical compounds and sensory descriptors in distilled spirits have long intrigued distillers, sensory experts, and consumers alike. The importance and complexity of this relation affect the production, quality, and appreciation of spirits, and the success of a product. Because of that, profoundly investigating the different flavor and aroma combinations that the chemical compounds can give to a desired beverage takes an essential place in the industry. This study aims to study these relationships by employing machine learning techniques to analyze a comprehensive dataset with 3051 chemical compounds and their associated aroma descriptors for seven distilled spirit categories: Baijiu, cachaç:a, gin, mezcal, rum, tequila, and whisk(e)y. The study uses principal component analysis (PCA) to reduce the dimensionality of the dataset and a clustering machine learning model to identify distinct clusters of aroma descriptors associated with each beverage category. Based on these results, an aroma wheel that encapsulates the diverse olfactory landscapes of various distilled spirits was developed. This flavor wheel is a valuable tool for distillers, sensory experts, and consumers, providing a comprehensive reference for understanding and appreciating the complexities of distilled spirits.
