Before you start
What you'll need
Step one
Infusing spirits with wood chips is a DIY way to age your alcohol from home, creating a richer, more flavourful drink.
Step two
Our team has created two delicious spice blends for you, composed of three hand-selected botanicals that harmonise perfectly for unique, memorable infusions.
Irish Coffee
Our recommendation: use 'Dark Chocolate' wood chips.
Citrus Tincture
Our recommendation: use 'American Sweetheart' wood chips.
The method
Pour 1/3 of one bag of wood chips of your choice into the bottle. Add white / unaged whisky.
Let the mixture sit for at least four weeks.
The longer it rests, the stronger the flavour.
Filter out the wood chips using the funnel and strainer.
It's time to make your infusion! Add 1/2 of one bag of the spice blend of your choice.
For extra flavour, crush the spices beforehand.
Refrigerate the mixture for one week.
You're almost done! Filter out the botanicals and personalise your whisky by adding a label.
Add your new signature whisky to the cocktail of your choice. Cheers!

Good to know

All whiskies are made with the same 3 ingredients — grain, water, and yeast — and their production processes almost always follow the same 5 steps: — malting, mashing, fermenting, distilling, and aging.
Easy enough, right?
Each region or country has its own rules defining what may or may not be called and sold as whiskey. Whiskey production is a strictly regulated business and often follows local traditions. This means whiskey can vary in taste when made and sold in different places. When buying and sampling spirits, keep an eye on the bottle's origin to find what you like.
Below are the 3 most common types of whiskey worldwide - to avoid getting into the weeds too much, or, in this case, grains.
This type is made from 100% barley. In the first step of whiskey production, known as malting, barley grains are germinated. This helps to develop enzymes that will convert the starch in the grains into fermentable sugar, a process completed in the later mashing phase. A whiskey is called single malt when it is made at only one distillery. Even today, many Irish and Scottish whiskies are single malts. In Japan, this tradition has also been widely adopted.
