How to infuse
Add wood chips & whisky

Let it rest
Let the mixture sit for at least four weeks.
The longer it rests, the stronger the flavour.
Filter the wood chips
Filter out the wood chips using the funnel and strainer.
Add your spice blend
It's time to make your infusion! Add 1/2 of one bag of the spice blend of your choice.
For extra flavour, crush the spices beforehand.
Refrigerate
Refrigerate the mixture for one week.
Filter & label
You're almost done! Filter out the botanicals and personalise your whisky by adding a label.
Pour & enjoy
Add your new signature whisky to the cocktail of your choice. Cheers!

WHISKEY TRIVIA
Ever felt overwhelmed when strolling down the whiskey aisle in the supermarket? One unpronounceable brand name after another; each bottle labeled with a list of incomprehensible terms ... Despair no more: Craftly can put you in better spirits.
All whiskies are made up of the same three ingredients — grain, water, and yeast — and their production processes (almost) always follow the same five steps: — malting, mashing, fermenting, distilling, and aging.
Easy enough, right?
Each region or country has its own rules defining what may or may not be called and sold as whiskey. Whiskey production is a strictly regulated business and often follows local traditions. These factors together mean that whiskey can taste different when it’s made and sold in different places: to find what you like, it’s worthwhile to keep an eye on the origin of a bottle when buying and sampling spirits.
We've broken down the three most common formulas for whiskey worldwide, without getting too much in the weeds (or perhaps in this case, grains).
Made from 100% barley. In the first step of whiskey production (known as malting), barley grains are germinated. This helps to develop enzymes that will convert the starch in the grains into fermentable sugar, a process completed in the later mashing phase. A malt whiskey is called single when it is made at only one distillery. Even today, many Irish and Scottish whiskies are single malts. In Japan, this tradition has also been widely adopted.
