Top Shelf Astringent Notes

Still Spirits Top Shelf Astringent Notes is a concentrated Profile blending component used to add sharpness, bitterness and bite to custom whiskey-style recipes.

How to use

Shake well and measure according to the selected Profile recipe. For original blends, add it gradually to a small test volume, taste between additions and record the amount before scaling up.

Helpful information

This is not intended as a complete stand-alone essence. Astringency can dominate quickly, so balance it against oak, sweetness, aroma and body components.

Complete whiskey-profile blending option

For supplied recipes and a complete measured blending system, see the Premium Whiskey Profile Kit. It includes astringent notes alongside the other profile components, oak, vanillin, caramel, glycerine, measuring tools and a recipe booklet.

Choose this individual bottle when a recipe specifically needs sharpness, bitterness or bite. It remains a concentrated blending ingredient rather than a complete one-bottle whiskey essence.
