Improve Mouthfeel, Smooth Harsh Spirits & Add Body to Homemade Spirits

If your homemade spirits taste a little harsh or thin, Pure Distilling Vegetable Glycerine is one of the easiest ways to improve their overall character.

Designed specifically for home distillers, this premium vegetable glycerine helps smooth harsh alcohol notes, adds body and improves mouthfeel without overpowering your chosen spirit flavouring. The result is a fuller, rounder and more enjoyable spirit that drinks more like a commercially produced product.

Naturally derived from refined vegetable oil, Pure Distilling Vegetable Glycerine is colourless, odourless and vegan friendly, making it suitable for a wide range of homemade spirits and liqueurs. Simply add the recommended amount after flavouring to create a smoother finish with a subtle increase in body and perceived sweetness.

Why Use Vegetable Glycerine?

Many freshly flavoured spirits can taste slightly sharp or lack the smooth mouthfeel found in commercial products.

Vegetable glycerine helps soften those harsh edges by adding body and creating a richer, more rounded mouthfeel. It's a popular finishing ingredient among home distillers because only a small amount is required to noticeably improve the drinking experience.

Whether you're making whisky, bourbon, rum, vodka, gin or liqueurs, vegetable glycerine can help produce a smoother spirit with improved balance while maintaining the original flavour profile. Manufacturer guidance recommends small additions per litre of flavoured spirit.
