We recommend a
stopper stem that is 1mm larger than the internal bore diameter of your bottle. This ensures a snug, secure fit while still allowing the stopper to be inserted and removed with ease.
Stem Material by Product Type:
For higher proof or clear spirits, we recommend using a natural cork stem or a synthetic stem. These materials are the safest choice, as higher-proof and clear spirits are more susceptible to contamination or off-flavors from certain stem materials.
For lower proof spirits, hot sauce, and other bottled products, any stem type is generally suitable.
Available Stem Types:
- Natural cork — ideal for premium spirits, wines, and products where a traditional aesthetic is desired
- Synthetic — a consistent, inert alternative to natural cork, well-suited for high-proof and clear spirits
- FusionCork — suitable for lower proof spirits and other bottled products
If you are unsure which stopper is best suited to your bottle, feel free to contact us, and we will be happy to help.
