How do I use an essence bottle?
Measure the home brew spirit essences, add them to a clean neutral spirit at the suggested ABV, and shake gently. Rest the bottle 24 to 48 hours so the flavour rounds out. Taste and add small top-ups if you want more intensity. Store the bottle cool and out of direct light.

Can I combine different essences?
Yes. Start with tiny test mixes. Try two styles in measured amounts, taste after a short rest, and adjust in small steps. You can add light oak chips to boost body or warmth. Once you like the result, scale the same ratios to a full bottle.

How long should I rest the spirit after adding essence?
Give it at least one to two days. Many profiles improve over a week. Shake gently before serving if the bottle sat for a while. Keep caps tight, store bottles cool and dark, and pour a small sample before you commit to a larger serve.
