This example demonstrates the versatility of InCHlib. Data do not originate from a biomedical domain, and InCHlib is integrated with the Google map service. Map services are commonly used for data visualization in disciplines, such as population geography or linguistics.

The displayed data set consists of 12 taste categories (scored between 0 and 4) for 86 single malt scotch whiskies. The whisky was judged by the following taste categories: Body, Sweetness, Smoky, Medicinal, Tobacco, Honey, Spicy, Winey, Nutty, Malty, Fruity, Floral.

The data were clustered using Euclidean distance and Ward's linkage. The map is provided by Google Maps and manipulated using Google Maps API.
