The kit, along with these recipes, provide you with everything you need to formulate your own favourite evoked tastes, or experiment to create a genuinely unique taste sensation.

This kit contains 12 different whiskey flavouring profiles and 2 adjuncts to design and build whiskey style flavoured beverages your way.

There are 4 base flavourings that are the foundation for all recipes, whiskey flavouring Profile A, B, C and D. All 4 flavourings have their own unique aromas and notes.

Oak Cask: A distinctive rounded oak cask flavouring which is a main component in most whiskies.

Sweet Vanillin: As the name suggests, this imparts a sweet vanilla flavouring often found in whiskey that has been barrel aged.

Peat Smoke: A strong almost pungent peat smoke flavouring that is a very prominent role in Scottish whiskies.

Astringent Notes: A sharp bitter astringent flavouring that helps add some bite.

Fruity Esters: Fruity esters are prominent on the nose more than anywhere else. They add a great deal to the whiskey bouquet.

Cereal Notes: Often described as grainy, these flavouring notes are a part of any grain spirit.

Carob Notes: A chocolate grain flavouring that results from the use of some mildly roasted grains and can also be contributed by some varieties of yeast during the early stages of fermentation.

Cedar Oak: This imparts a distinctive drier oak flavouring than the oak cask flavouring and is often found in Irish style whiskey.

Distiller's Caramel: This is a stable caramel colour suitable for distilled spirit as it has a negative colloidal charge and imparts a warm golden hue to the spirit.

Glycerine: There are two bottles supplied in this pack as this is used every recipe and contributes smoothness and mouthfeel.. It is naturally occurring in almost all whiskies.

This kit includes a syringe and pipette to make putting your flavourings together simple.

The additions are in milliliters. two measures are enclosed.

One is a 10ml syringe with extension tube and the other is a 3ml disposable pipette.

Syringe - Use for measurements over 3ml: When the syringe is fitted with the extension tube there will be a small quantity of air drawn in before the liquid is dispensed. It is best to remove this air so that measurements are not distorted. Do this by drawing air in until the extension tube is empty. Expel the air then expel the excess liquid by pumping the syringe several times until it is empty. Rinse the syringe with water between different flavouring notes.

Pipette: For any measurement under 3ml: Insert thin end into the bottle. Squeeze bulb and release. Liquid will be drawn up into the pipette. Adjust the quantity by increasing or decreasing the pressure on the bulb. Rinse with water between products to avoid contamination.
