The Secret to a Perfectly Balanced Whiskey? It's All About Mellow Oak

There’s nothing quite like the deep, complex character of a well-aged whiskey. That smooth smokiness, the warm bite of toasted oak—it's what turns a good spirit into an exceptional one. But here’s the thing: ageing takes years. Who wants to wait that long? Lucky for us, Still Spirits Mellow Oak is bringing that perfect barrel-aged feel to homemade spirits in a fraction of the time.

Why Oak Makes the Difference

For centuries, oak barrels have been the secret behind whiskey, brandy, and rum’s unmistakable richness. The wood itself imparts subtle notes of vanilla, caramel, and spice while smoothing out the harsh edges of raw spirits. But unless you’ve got barrels stacked in your shed, achieving that complexity at home hasn’t been easy—until now.

Fast-Tracking That Aged Flavour (Without the Waiting)

This little bottle of Still Spirits Mellow Oak delivers everything you love about aged spirits without the long wait. It’s customisable too—add as little or as much as you like to fine-tune the intensity of the oak finish. With just a measured dose (1 to 5ml per litre is all you need), your homemade whiskey, rum, or bourbon levels up instantly and develops even more depth over the next 7 to 14 days.

The Perfect Balance Every Time

Let’s be honest. Homemade spirits can sometimes feel a little ‘too fresh.’ The edges aren’t always smooth, and they can lack that warmth that comes from proper ageing. That's exactly where Still Spirits Mellow Oak works its magic. It rounds out your spirits without overpowering them, filling in the gaps with gentle toasted oak character—just the way nature intended, only faster.

How to Use It

Start small—add 1ml per litre of spirit, taste, and adjust as needed.
Give it time—let your mix rest between 7 to 14 days for the best result.
Experiment—every batch can be tweaked to match your taste preference.

Whether you want a hint of oak or a deep, rich bourbon-like complexity, a few drops go a long way.

Save the Space, Keep the Flavour

Let’s face it—most of us don’t have room for aging barrels at home. But that doesn’t mean you have to settle for dull, unrefined spirits. Whether it's whiskey, dark rum, or brandy, Still Spirits Mellow Oak lets you create that aged-barrel complexity without a single plank of wood in sight.

Bringing It All Together

The world of home distilling is all about control—crafting spirits exactly the way you like them. With tools like this, the process feels less like a science experiment and more like an art form. No two batches need to be the same. Try a little, taste, adjust, and create something so good that friends start asking for your ‘secret recipe.’
