This post has nothing to do with coffee. It is here after I read a wonderful article on How Coffee Varietals and Processing Affect Taste [1]. It reminded me of a similar, somewhat simpler piece of work I did on Whisky Flavours to Distilleries.
Flavour to Whisky Distillery
This has been created by using a word cloud generator over whisky reviews. The more times a flavour appears in reviews, the bigger the number. For example with the flavour apple, 1:Longmorn means Longmorn Distillery has a slight apple characteristic, whereas 11:Glenesk means Glenesk Distillery has a strong apple flavour.
