Can You Mix Two Finished Deer Jimmy’s® Bottles?

The Answer: Hell Yes

You aged one batch on bourbon oak — smooth, sweet, warm. Another on Islay — sharp, smoky, wild. They both have character. But together? They might become something greater than the sum of their parts. Mixing finished batches isn’t cheating. It’s blending. And it’s how some of the world’s best spirits are made.

From Solo Act to Headliner Blend

Each Deer Jimmy’s® batch has its own voice. One might sing with fruit and spice. Another hums with smoke and salt. When you combine them, you're creating harmony — or contrast. Maybe your brandy-aged vodka is a bit too soft. Mix in some calvados-aged genever, and it wakes up. That slightly bitter Islay tequila? Brighten it with a splash of rum-aged gin. You're not diluting. You’re composing.

Trust the Process — But Also Your Palate

Blending is where instinct takes over. Taste each batch on its own. Then experiment in small portions. Try a 70/30 split. Try half-and-half. Let it sit, breathe, then taste again. There’s no fixed ratio. No fixed rule. There’s just what feels balanced to you. And once you find it? Bottle it. Label it. Name it. It’s not leftovers. It’s a new legend.

Blending as a Creative Finale

Mixing two finished bottles isn’t what you do when something’s wrong. It’s what you do when you want more. More complexity. More depth. More “wow.” It’s the step that takes you from DIY spirit maker to full-on micro-blender. And it doesn’t require more tools — just more curiosity.

Your Spirit, Reimagined

Every bottle you age is personal. But sometimes, blending two finished batches creates something that feels even more you. It’s not about fixing flaws. It’s about discovering combinations. And the moment you taste a blend that hits harder than either original, you’ll realize: you didn’t just pour two spirits together. You created something new — and unforgettable.
