Whiskey Infusion!

With a little time, you can create your own colorful and flavored whiskeys, offering a taste that is all your own.

Our Results!

Here is the taste test of our infused whiskies we cooked up ....

Mint-infused whiskey

Kobi says 4 - 5 "It tastes like that mint ice cream! holy fuck - I was expecting worse! Damn that's good"

Howard says 4.5 - 5 "Very Tasty. This has the best of both worlds, not only do I get drunk on it, it freshens my breath at the same time!"

Lime-infused whiskey

Kobi says 3 - 5 "tastes like I used dirty limes! .... not that bad though. Too bad it has that dirty aftertaste ...."

Howard says 3 - 5 "First sip is pretty smooth, with a hint of lime. Then the aftertaste kicks you in the balls, and makes you want to keep on drinking to avoid the aftertaste."

Pickle-infused whiskey

Kobi says 1 - 5
"It's .... liquid pickle. Flavour has overwhelmed the pepsi, overwhelmed the whiskey. Overwhelmed me. It's ... liquid pickle."

Howard says 1 - 5
"Well, I couldnt taste the rye. Probably because my taste buds went on strike after tasting that putrid drink. I like pickles, but drinking pickled pepsi is just plain wrong."

Infuse Your Own Whiskey!

Step 1: Gather the essentials

Ingredients: It can take under a week for citrus fruits or strongly flavored ingredients to infuse. Softly flavored or fibrous ingredients such as strawberries, pineapple or fresh ginger, can take between one and two weeks.

Base Rye: Choosing a suitable rye base is key to effective flavor infusion .... so basically any shit you can find. We're not gourmet here.

Step 2: Choosing your flavor

The choice is almost infinite and stretches as far as your imagination. We chose Lime, Mint, and .... Pickle for our infusion experiment. Hey, come on! Everything goes with pickles!

Step 3: Time to infuse

Fresh fruit and produce should be washed thoroughly - you don't want dirt in your whiskey - trust us. Berry-like fruit, such as blueberries, raspberries and blackberries, should be left whole. Fibrous fruits like pineapple or mango should be chopped into small chunks and strawberries or citrus fruit, cut into thin slices. Vanilla beans should be cut lengthways and herbs left on their stems. Chili peppers can be left whole, or cut i half if you want to increase the rate of infusion.

The glass jar should be filled full with the infusion ingredients and the remained with rye. Tighten the lid securely over the jar (or be lazy like us and use saran-wrap) and place in the refrigerator or at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.

Infusion time:

Approx. 3 - 4 days: Vanilla beans, lemons, oranges, grapefruit, limes, mint, garlic, tarragon, basil, oregano, dill & thyme

Approx. 1 week: Cantaloupes, strawberries, peaches, mangoes, pitted cherries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries

Up to 2 weeks: Whole chili peppers, pineapple, fresh ginger and lemongrass

If You're Anal:

If you want to speed up the flavor infusion process, or deepen the flavor, sprinkle a layer of sugar over the top of fruit. Occasionally stir the mixture to dissolve any settled granules. And then go brood over by your grand piano.

These are only guidelines. So feel free to do your own thing.
