Top Shelf Skyebuie Liqueur (B) Spiced Whiskey (Skybuie)

Top Shelf Skyebuie Liqueur (B) Spiced Whiskey (Skybuie) is a 50ml Still Spirits Top Shelf liqueur flavouring. With a Liqueur Base B and 40% ABV neutral spirit or vodka it makes 1.125 litres of finished liqueur. Still Spirits describes it as "Herbal with notes of honey and spice."

What it tastes like

A Scottish-style spiced whisky liqueur: whisky underneath, honey and herbs on top, and sweet enough to sip neat. It is the bottle for a rusty nail, and it suits a winter evening more than any other liqueur in the range.

How to make it

Make up the Liqueur Base B as per the pack, shake this bottle and add it with 850ml of 40% ABV neutral spirit or vodka, then top up to 1.125 litres with water. It is ready to pour the same day.

The spirit can be bought vodka or your own neutral spirit off an Air Still Pro or Turbo 500. Because a liqueur is sweet, it is more forgiving of a base spirit than a straight vodka essence is, but a carbon-filtered spirit still gives a cleaner result.

When to choose this one

Choose this over a straight Top Shelf whiskey when you want something sweet and herbal to sip rather than a spirit to mix. Uses Base B with the full 850ml of spirit, so it keeps a proper whisky strength. The full set is on the Top Shelf essences collection.
