Welcome. Read this before you do anything else.

Are you looking for essence recommendations or do you want to make your own whiskey, rum, etc the traditional way?

+ 1 with Chuck here,there are a great variety of drinks you can attempt from "raw ingredients" or essences,you were not clear in your question.
Anyway,welcome,and checkout the recipe section,a few gems hidden away in there,IMHO.

I will also draw your attention to the search box in the upper right. If you have a specific question, that works quite well.

Thanks for the replies and the warm welcome...ive only been using essences at the min...the only thing ive done different so far is putting the tennessee bourbon wood chips in a bottle of tennessee bourbon i made to see how that turns out...(some experimenting eh)...my fave spirit is glenfiddich and would like to make something close to that...Cheers daftlad

If it is Scottish style whisky you are after, have a look at this:

I've heard good things about the drop that Frank makes!
