Advice on back-sweetening whiskey with honey


Lenny

Recommended Posts

I've got a small one off batch of a "flavored whiskey" that I'd like to sweeten up with some local honey. Any advice on how to best add the honey? I was leaning towards a heavy simple syrup (hot water to dissolve the honey) and adding that to achieve the desired flavor. Thoughts on that being an appropriate method? Is there a potential for clouding or sediment, and if so could anyone recommend another method that might be more appropriate?

Hey Lenny,

You'll get some clouding which will settle into sediment no matter how you do it. Thats why most honey flavored spirits use a stable flavor compound. Just let it settle out over a couple of days until it clears and pump off the top. Others may have better ways but this has worked for us.
