Create a Whisky Worth Bragging About – Without Setting Foot in Scotland
There’s something quietly satisfying about pouring a dram of your own creation — the kind of whisky that makes your mates say, “Hang on, you made this?” The Still Spirits Whiskey Profile Range – A, B, C, and D – isn’t just a set of flavourings. It’s your ticket to building a drop that’s truly yours. No warehouse. No marketing spin. Just you, your still, and the craft of flavour-making at its best.
From Flat to Fantastic: How the Right Profile Changes Everything
We’ve all been there. You run your neutral spirit through the still, taste it, and… meh. It’s clean, sure, but it’s also lifeless. That’s where the Still Spirits Whiskey Profile A swoops in like a top-shelf rescue job.
“First time I tried blending Profile A with a splash of C, I had a mate ask me what distillery it came from. That’s when I knew I was onto something.”
— Local home distiller
With notes of fruit, malt, and wood, Profile A helps you lay down that traditional warm base. Think of it as an homage to the classic Scottish style — only better because it’s yours.
Mixing Profiles: Because Great Whisky Never Came from Playing It Safe
What sets the Still Spirits Whiskey Profile B apart is its sharp acidic edge — apple-forward with a bite. Blend that with Profile A for a deeper backdrop, and you end up with something vibrantly bold yet balanced. B gives your whisky a confident kick, making it ideal for those who like their spirits with attitude.
Still Spirits Whiskey Profile C, on the other hand, delivers that smooth, round finish — a mellow follow-up to B’s intensity. Mix it in to lower the highs and stretch out the palate. It’s a game of contrast and harmony, and you’re the conductor.
And then there’s Still Spirits Whiskey Profile D: vanilla, chocolate, and a whisper of richness. This is your secret weapon when you want your end product to linger longer — a thicker mouthfeel, a hint of sweetness, a nod to the kind of cask-aged experience usually locked behind barrel doors for decades.
Real Whisky Making, Without the Mystery
Here's the truth: making excellent home whisky is less about fancy gear and more about flavour control. The Profile Range gives you exactly that — reliable building blocks that respond to your palate and creativity.
Each 50ml bottle is simple: shake it up, measure it out, and blend into your filtered spirit. Stick to the Profile Kit recipes or go rogue and tweak the ratios. Blend A and D for a smooth holiday sipper. Try B and C for a vibrant, edgy drop that leaves a strong impression. You’re not just distilling anymore — you’re composing.
A Shed Can Outshine a Cellar (If You Know What You're Doing)
The beauty of this range is that you don’t need a room full of dusty oak barrels to get complexity. You just need a basic still, some Neutral 40%, and a bit of curiosity. The rest? Comes down to taste, trial, and quiet Friday nights in the shed adjusting syringes of Profile A, B, C, and D while the footy hums in the background.
One bloke we know took Months to dial in his mix — three parts Profile C, one splash of D, and just a touch of B for backbone. Now he won’t drink anything else. And yes, it all lives on a labelled glass jar beside his still, recorded like a prized recipe.
Quick Tips for Blending Like a Pro
- Start Simple: Try each profile on its own first. Know what you're adding.
- Keep Notes: Write down ratios — yes, even that “tiny splash.” Future You will thank you.
- Balance the Bold: Overdid Profile B’s acidity? Soften it back with C or D.
- Age It Smart: Drop a few toasted oak chips in for a week or two. Game changer.
What You’re Really Making
This isn’t just about whisky. It’s about building something that didn’t exist before you made it. It’s about pulling the cork, raising a glass, and knowing — really knowing — that your drink has a signature: your signature.
You’re not drinking the same thing as everyone else. You’re crafting stories, memories, and the kind of backyard praise that only happens when someone takes a sip and says, “That’s bloody brilliant.”
Cheers to the blend that’s never been bottled until now — because you bottled it.
