Gustatory

The word “gustatory” (GUS-tuh-tor-ee) - from the Latin - refers to the sense of taste.

Example (as used by Jeffrey Tayler in The Atlantic): “In a land of ice and chains and endemic suffering, caviar provided gustatory salvation from grief and black days, a sensual escape from temporal woes.”
