Can Glycerine Make Spirits Smoother? Explanation & Testing If It Works

Ok you guys asked for it so here it is! Can you smooth out a rough spirit with Glycerine? This video walks through a few different points in relation to using glycerine as a smoothing agent in moonshine, spirits, whisky or vodka. First up, how do you use it? The still spirits product recommends 5ml per litre. Measure it out, pop it into the bottle and give it a good shake. Then, what does it supposedly do? What are the benefits of glycerine in moonshine or spirits? It is supposed to "smooth the spirit". I think what people are really talking about here is a reduction in alcohol burn. Then I walk through a small triangle test I performed to see if people could perceive a difference when using glycerine. Afterwards, I share the results and my personal thoughts on the matter.
