Sensorial activities to refine each sense are an important part of Montessori education. I have lots of Montessori sensorial resources here: Montessori Sensorial Activities.
Following are some ideas from around the blogosphere for preparing and presenting Montessori tasting activities.

Montessori Primary Guide Has directions and lesson presentations for traditional Montessori tasting bottles.

Montessori Services has eye droppers and other materials for assembling tasting bottles and activities.
Montessori-Inspired Tasting Activities
The Wonder Years didn’t do a matching activity but had a tasting activity using bowls of flavored water.

In his sensory activities post at 1+1+1=1, John Bowman didn’t use matching tasting bottles, but used unsweetened chocolate, salt, sugar, and a lemon to help children identify the four basic tastes.

Thank you for all the great resources! My kids are very happy to try anything that involves taste testing 🙂 And thanks so much for sharing at the After School linky!
Thanks for sharing this great round-up of tasting activities.
This is a great collection of ideas! My mother has saved several of those brown tasting bottles for me because she uses liquid Stevia. I’ll use them this year in a tasting activity.
Lovely collection of ideas. I shared this post at the THH FB page.
The food tasting post looks like fun! What a great way to get kids to try new foods!
