Scratch and sniff scented books are an interactive way to involve the reader in an experience and product and The Scratch & Sniff Guide to Becoming a Whiskey Know-It-All relies on just this premise. The book combines both reading and smell to give the reader an accurate depiction and whiskey guide beyond the printed word.

The Scratch & Sniff Guide to Becoming a Whiskey Know-It-All book cleverly mixes humor and scent to involve the reader into a two-dimensional [whiskey education](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-cask-at-a-time). The book features 20 pages that are filled with [scratch and sniff pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scratchandsniff-ooh-campaign). The reader can use their finger nail to scratch the page to activate the scent hidden inside and actually sniff different whiskey notes while they read and learn about the liquor.
