Still Spirits Botanicals

Still Spirits botanicals are a great way to add flavor and aroma to your homemade spirits, such as gin, vodka, and whiskey. Here’s a quick guide to using them:

1. Choose your botanicals: Still Spirits offers a range of botanicals, including juniper berries, coriander seeds, angelica root, and more. You can use one type of botanical or mix and match to create your own unique blend.
2. Prepare your still: Make sure your still is clean and ready to use. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific type of still.
3. Add the botanicals: Depending on the recipe, you may want to add the botanicals to the still before or after distillation. For example, when making gin, you typically add the botanicals to the still during the second distillation. When making whiskey, you may add the botanicals to the aging barrel.
4. Monitor the temperature: It’s important to monitor the temperature throughout the distillation process to ensure that you get the desired flavor and aroma from the botanicals.
5. Adjust the recipe: If you’re not happy with the flavor or aroma of your homemade spirits, you can adjust the recipe by adding more or less of a particular botanical, or by trying a different combination of botanicals.

What do Still Spirits Botanicals Do?

Botanicals are essentially herbs, spices, fruits, and other natural ingredients that are used to flavor and aroma homemade spirits. For example, juniper berries are a key ingredient in gin, and give it its distinctive piney flavor. Other botanicals, such as coriander, orange peel, and cardamom, can be added to gin to create a unique blend of flavors.

Botanicals can also be used to flavor and aroma other spirits, such as vodka and whiskey. For example, you can add oak chips to your aging barrel to give your whiskey a woody, smoky flavor. Or, you can add vanilla beans to your vodka to give it a sweet, creamy flavor.

Still Spirits botanicals are a fun and easy way to experiment with flavors and aromas in your homemade spirits. With a little bit of experimentation, you can create your own unique blends that are sure to impress your friends and family.
