How to Make the Tallow-Washed Whiskey

1. Melt the tallow until liquid andwarm (not hot).
2. Combine the melted tallow with the whiskey in a sealed container.
3. Shake gently to integrate.
4. Rest at room temperature for 1 hour, then place in the fridge until the fat fully solidifies on top (4–6 hours).
5. Remove the solid fat cap with a spoon.
6. Fine strain the whiskey through a coffee filter or muslin cloth to remove any remaining fat particles.
7. Store in a clean bottle.
8. This creates a silky, savoury whiskey with a rich mouthfeel — perfect for an Old Fashioned.

2. Fill with ice and stir until chilled and balanced (15–20 seconds).
