THE WHISKEY PROFILE KIT
What is it? I hear you say, well, I will explain it this way, if the “off the shelf” essence is not exactly the taste you were after, don’t put up with it, simply make your own flavour profile. The kit comes complete with measuring items, a range of 15 Whiskey base profile flavours and a recipe booklet, providing recipes for Lowland, Highland,Speyside and Islay region Single malts as well as Blended Whisky, Irish Whiskey and Bourbon.
Using the kit is very simple and you can use the exact recipe’s provided or vary these to suite your own palate and match any favourite Whisky you may enjoy. Naturally, you can make a variety of Single malts and with your friends enjoy making up your very own and unique BLENDS, remember Chivas Regal, Johnny Walker Red/black are blended Whisky
Customer tells it like it is!!!
“I originally purchased the kit to get as close as I could to ‘Black Douglas’ (a blended whisky) as my wife would drink nothing else. A bit of experimenting with the profiles saw me come up with a recipe, which my wife now prefers and cannot drink the real thing. I also make great Single Malts, Irish Whiskey and Bourbon which is in the recipe booklet that comes with the kit – Best thing I ever bought”

More on Whisky - Types of Scotch
There are 2 basic types of Scotch whisky, from which all blends are made
Whisky Regions and Distilleries
Scotland was traditionally divided into four regions: The Highlands, Lowland, Islay and Campbeltown.
Speyside, encompassing the Spey river valley in north-east Scotland, once considered part of the Highlands, has almost half of the total number of distilleries in Scotland within its geographic boundaries; consequently it is officially recognized as a region unto itself.
Campbeltown was removed as a region several years ago, yet was recently re-instated as a recognized production region.
The Islands is not recognized as a region by the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) and is considered part of the Highlands region.
There are 2 basic types of Scotch whisky, from which all blends are made
-
Single Malt Scotch Whisky means a Scotch Whisky produced from only water and malted barley from a single distillery by batch distillation in pot stills
- Single Grain Scotch Whisky means a whisky distilled at a single distillery but, in addition to water and malted barley, may involve whole grains of malted or unmalted cereals. Single Grain does not mean that only a single type of grain was to produce the whisky – rather “single” refers to the use of a single distillery.
