About the Maker
created by
Vincent and Leon Horst
German brothers Vincent and Leon Horst began their careers as a chemist and an aerospace engineer, respectively. But in their spare time, they experimented with a shared passion: creating gin-making kits. Fast forward a bit, and their onetime hobby is now their full-time job. Working with a small team in their office in Berlin, the duo design easy-to-use kits with wood chips, spices, and botanicals for mixology enthusiasts to craft their very own gin and whiskey.

Disappointed
I purchased this as a birthday present. I paid $20 extra for expedited shipping. The gift didn't arrive and I found it cheaper elsewhere.

So fun
Bought this for my dad, who's really big into whiskey. Instead of just buying him a bottle of his favorite, I decided to pivot. He is SO excited about it!

Great idea!
I won't be actually giving this until April for a birthday, but the mere idea of it is so special. Hopefully it will please my son.

Unique Gift
Very high quality. This was given as a gift to a person who enjoys whisky. He was excited when he realized what it was and that he could create his own version. Very unique item for sure!

Fun and Delish!
A great way to bring some fun into your love of Whisky! Working with aroma and flavor to make our ultimate whisky made a cold weekend a blast! Feeling more knowledgable now and want to try out more flavors! Thanks for the great kit.

Beautiful presentation, quality Ingredients
This was a gift for my brother, who had to open it immediately, check out all the ingredients and had his whiskey started within a week. You open it and see everything laid out beautifully. Perfect gift! (Just remember you'll need to buy your own alcohol!)

FAQs
1. Is a whiskey making kit a good gift for someone who already loves whiskey?
A whiskey making kit is an exceptional gift for someone who already loves whiskey — in fact, it's often described as better than just buying them another bottle. Because it lets them experiment with aromas, flavors, and custom infusions, it offers something a whiskey enthusiast wouldn't typically buy for themselves. Recipients consistently react with genuine excitement, diving into the kit right away and making it a social activity to share with friends.
2. Do you need to supply your own alcohol for a whiskey making kit?
Yes, you do need to supply your own alcohol for this whiskey making kit — the kit itself does not include spirits. It works as a flavor infusion kit, where you add your own vodka or neutral base spirit (a neutral grain spirit works best; unrefined bourbon is another popular choice) and then use the included ingredients to craft your own custom whiskey flavor profile. Everything else you need comes beautifully packaged inside the kit.
3. What kind of experience or skill level is needed to use a whiskey making kit?
No prior experience or special skill level is needed to use this whiskey making kit. The instructions are straightforward and easy to follow, making it feel more like a fun science experiment than a complex craft. First-time users have described the process as both educational and rewarding, coming away feeling more knowledgeable about whiskey aromas and flavors — and genuinely impressed with the results they're able to create.
4. Is a whiskey making kit a good gift for someone who is hard to shop for?
A whiskey making kit is one of the best gift options for someone who is hard to shop for, especially if they're a whiskey enthusiast. It's a unique, hands-on experience rather than just another physical item — making it stand out even for people who seemingly have everything. The elegant packaging adds to the wow factor upon opening, and the kit doubles as an ongoing activity, giving the recipient something to look forward to and revisit again and again.
5. Can a whiskey making kit be used as a group or social activity?
Yes, a whiskey making kit works wonderfully as a group or social activity. Many users have turned the kit into an event, using it as a fun project when friends come over to compare flavors, sample results, and experiment with new infusion combinations together. The interactive nature of blending aromas and tasting different varieties makes it a natural conversation starter and a shared experience that people talk about long after the first batch is made.

Hi. Does infusing the whiskey require any cooking? I didn't think so but I wanted to make sure. The process is just making a mixture of ingredients and packaging it, correct?
Verified reply from Jen
No cooking involved, just need vodka!

- Miramar Beach, FL
Is vodka the only separate thing we need to buy to use this kit?
Verified reply from Jasmine
Yes! The only thing not included is alcohol.

About how long does the whisky need to age?
Verified reply from Allison
The maker says four weeks! Taste at two weeks to see how strong a flavor you'd like.
