Still Spirits Top Shelf Flavourings Range

Still Spirits Top Shelf Flavourings turn your own neutral spirit into a genuine replica of the world's most popular drinks — just add the flavouring essence to your base spirit and water, following the bottle's instructions, and it's ready to drink. No ageing, no distilling equipment required beyond what you've already used to make the base spirit.

What Does It Taste Like?

Not sure where to start? Still Spirits publish their own guide matching each flavouring to the commercial spirit it's designed to replicate. Here's how our in-stock flavours line up — select the matching flavour from the dropdown above once you've found what you're after. For the full official chart (including flavours we don't currently stock), see Still Spirits' own comparison guide.

How Does It Work?

Each Top Shelf flavouring is a concentrated essence formulated to replicate a specific commercial spirit. Add the bottle to your base spirit (typically vodka-strength neutral spirit, home-distilled or bought), dilute to drinking strength with water following the pack instructions, and leave to settle for a day or two before drinking. Some styles — particularly the cream liqueurs — use a dedicated base (see below) rather than a neutral spirit.

Liqueur and Cream Bases

For cream liqueurs like Irish Cream, and for schnapps-style drinks, you'll need the matching base alongside the flavouring: Cream Liqueur Base for cream-style liqueurs, or Schnapps Base for schnapps flavours like Peach or Pear Schnapps. Amaretto uses Liqueur Base C. The general Liqueur Bases (A, B, and C) cover other liqueur styles — check your chosen flavouring's instructions for which base it needs.

What Do You Need to Get Started?

You'll need a base spirit (either bought, or distilled at home with a Still Spirits Air Still or T500 still), the flavouring of your choice, the matching base if required, and bottles to store the finished spirit. If you're distilling your own base spirit from scratch, you'll also need a turbo yeast and Turbo Clear to ferment and clear your wash first.
