Sediment

[wifflow1]

Hi Everyone,
Can anyone help me solve this problem? I only make Vodka and Scotch whiskey using 'Still' essences but I have noticed that I always seem to end up with a dark sediment after a couple of weeks on the bottom of a bottle of whiskey. It does not happen with the Vodka for some reason (perhaps I should swallow the whiskey quicker lol)But this is happening frequently. The vodka and scotch are coming from the same wash so, its not as if its because they are being distilled from different washes.
Im using 'Vodka Star' and have been for a few months now but it was also happening with the 'Stills' yeast so, Im baffled.
By the way, I am having better results with the Vodka Star, I have found it smells better whilst fermenting and I have noticed a better result after filtering (polishing). I was warned before using VS that it tends to leave an after taste but I have not found this at all. I also experimented using a liquid carbon but it made no difference what so ever. A little slower than other yeasts but all in all the resulsts have been overall better.
Happy Days.

Did you prepare SS Classic Finest Reserve Scotch Whiskey? If so, it should be mixed at a higher ABV closer to 50%. In mine, I have dark sediment as well, lightly ringing the bottom of the bottle. It is essence that did not fully dissolve. It is nothing to worry about. For me, it was initially disconcerting; but, those concerns diminished as it looks like and tastes like scotch.

A Scotsman who spells
Whisky with a n ‘e’,
should be hand cuffed
and thrown head first in the Dee,

In the USA and Ireland,
it’s spelt with an ‘e’
but in Scotland
it’s real ‘Whisky’.

So if you see Whisky
and it has an ‘e’,
only take it,
if you get it for free!

For the name is not the same
and it never will be,
a dram is only a real dram,
from a bottle of ‘Scotch Whisky’.
