20ml Essences

We supply a large assortment of essences specifically made for flavouring alcohol. An essence is not a flavour. A flavour is a simple and crude product compared to an essence. Our suppliers include Still Spirits, Liquor Quik & Prestige.  These essences contain natural flavours, but, in addition, have extracts of natural oils, herbs, oak, etc. The simplest essence contains 8 different ingredients – only one is a flavour. A flavour is simply a flavour, an ingredient. “Flavours” are often synthetic.

Essences can be used to flavour home-made or commercial alcohol. Try our Turbo Yeast Kits to produce your own 18% alcohol base. Each pack will produce 23 litres of alcohol base.  Once you’ve got your alcohol base, choose an essence, mix according to the instructions on the bottle and you’ll make a product pretty close to that which you can buy in a store.

20ml Liquor Quik & Prestige essences will make approximately 700ml.

If you’re looking for larger quantities please contact the store to request bulk quantities or larger bottles.

Sugar Additions:
Many flavourings will add sugar or some form of thickening base.  Start with half of whatever the instructions suggest and add more to your base liquor as required. TO YOUR  TASTE add more sugar only if required. Shake well to mix. Can be consumed immediately. Storage enhances flavour.
