Whiskies in Lapointe & Legendre taste ordering
This appendix should really not be taken out of context but should be read
in conjunction with the the
complete paper by Lapointe and Legendre.
They applied statistical techniques to Michael Jackson's tasting notes, using
a selection of frequently used key words and this classification was the result.
It is reproduced here for interest and should not be taken as a hard and
fast classification!
