{"title":"Make it yourself","description":"\u003cp\u003eMaking whisky in the sense of distilling it is not permitted at home in the Netherlands without a licence, but with the sets in this collection you can give an existing whisky your own flavour. With the Craftly infusion kits you steep wood, herbs and spices in your whisky, and with the smoker sets you add a smoky note to a glass or cocktail. It is a fun way to discover how wood and botanicals create flavour, and an original gift for the curious whisky lover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe compact Make your own whisky set contains two kinds of wood chips, two herb blends, a 500 ml bottle, a strainer and labels. The extended Develop your own whisky set goes further, with nine flavourings such as vanilla- or chocolate-flavoured oak, orange peel, cinnamon and coffee beans, two bottles and six whisky stones. All you need to add is a bottle of whisky of your choice.

The sets in this collection do not distil anything. You use a whisky you already have and let wood, herbs or smoke work on it. That is flavouring, and you can do it at home without any problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does a whisky infusion kit actually do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn infusion kit adds flavour to an existing whisky by letting wood chips, herbs or spices steep in the bottle for a while. You then strain the whisky and have your own version, with notes of vanilla, chocolate, orange or chilli, for example. It is not true cask maturation: in a cask, years of time, temperature and oxygen play a role, whereas an infusion mainly adds aromas from the wood and herbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long should wood chips steep in whisky?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt depends on the flavouring, so follow the recipes and instructions included with the Craftly set. A good rule of thumb is to taste along the way, for instance every day. Spices such as chilli and cinnamon release their flavour quickly, and steeping too long can make the whisky bitter or overly woody. Strain the whisky as soon as it suits your taste and keep it in a closed bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich whisky should you use for an infusion?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose an affordable whisky that is not too pronounced, such as a smooth blend or a young bourbon. It gives the added flavours room, and it would be a shame to overpower a complex, older single malt. Whiskies in the Smooth \u0026amp; Fruity or Rich \u0026amp; Sweet styles of the M4W Flavour Compass are a good starting point; a smoky whisky can pair well with coffee or cocoa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the compact and the extended Craftly set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe compact Make your own whisky set, with one 500 ml bottle, two woods and two herb blends, is an easy introduction.
