    Has anyone got experience with the Still Spirits Whiskey Profile Kit. I bought one yesterday to give it a try on my next batch in the next couple of weeks. It comes with a recipe booklet but personal experience would be a big help.

    I bought one too, on Wednesday.

    Going to give it a go tonight or over the weekend.

    Will try the Laphroaig first.

    I made up 750ml of the Laphroaig recipe.

    It is stupidly good, how do they get the flavour so accurate?

    Have you tried the still spirits classic whisky?,i might mix one up tonight if i can find a bottle,think it will be a case of paying a visit to the local bottle bank

    Just started a wash so hopefully be trying the kit out next week. I think I'll start with the Laphroaig as well, perhaps see if we agree.

    The still spirits "classic" whiskey, is what I make up for "give aways". I don't like blended type whiskey (my dad does, as do a few mates etc).

    They all reassure me that it's better than the likes of teachers, famous grouse, etc etc.

    It's the one that makes 3 bottles and is in a green coloured pack.

    I might think about a profile kit though as I don't mind a malt!

    Tried the Laphroaig and the Jameson's. In both cases flavours seemed under powered and slightly sweet. I think I will experiment with the recipe a little. The booklet supplied with the kit does'nt explain the effect of the profile A, B and C essences on the various recipes. It gives a good description of the other essences provided but not those three.

    I have been going through the recipes in the profile kit and have found so far that there is far to much glycerine for my taste, in all of them so far,and the peat smoke seems a bit over powering as well,im going to make a few tweakes next time.Has anyone come up with any good recipes or changes to the recipes in the book?
    cheers Optic

    I'm wondering if it's glycerine thats creating the sweetness that I've found in the ones I've done. Like you i will have to ty a bit of tweaking.
