Mary O Botanical Mix Infusion Options:

Method 1 -

  1. Complete a stripping run and a distilling run
  2. Soak the Mary Botanical Mix in at least 50%ABV spirit (remember to shave nutmeg, you can also crush the berries and seeds but not necessary)
  3. Leave for 4-5 days depending on the intensity of flavour you like.  Shake every hour or so for first day and every now and them for the remainder.
  4. **NOTE** The longer you leave the more flavour you will extract, however some botanicals could become more prominent then others.
  5. **RECCOMENDED**This method will also leave your end spirt a yellowish brown so it is recommended to distil again and/or use a carbon filter.

Method 2 -

  1. Clean the botanicals by either soaking in Spirit above 50% ABV for a couple of hours to overnight or sanitise using Super Kill Sanitiser Spray
  2. Before commencing the Spirit Run put the Mary Botanical Mix into a Still Spirits Botanical Basket or Air Still Infusion Basket or Muslin Cloth and commence a spirit run taking cuts and noting the different flavour profiles merging.
  3. **NOTE** Remember to shave the Nutmeg to get the best flavour.
  4. **ALTERNATIVE** You can simply add the botanicals to the wash without using the basket however you do run the risk of burning the botanicals and the off flavours coming through.

Method 3 -

  1. Separate the botanicals and macerate them in at least 50%ABV spirit using Kilner Glass Jars.
  2. Leave for 4-5 days upto several weeks depending on the intensity of flavour you like.  Shake every hour or so for first day and every now and them for the remainder.
  3. Regularly taste till desired flavour is reached,  then blend the botanicals together.
  4. **ALTRERNATIVE**  After blending the botanicals together run through the still once more to bind the flavours together and create a clear spirit.
