About The Spirit Shield
Jeremy used his passion of engineering and chemistry to solve a newly understood problem with spirits. Oxygen entering a bottle once uncorked allowed oxidation and the uncontrolled changes to the aroma and flavor of the spirit. By removing the oxygen, we are able to preserve the flavors and aromas that were bottled at the distillery.
The solution: Using a cork and cartridge methodology, the Spirit Shield passively removes oxygen from open bottles preserving the flavor and aroma - as well as your investment. There are no pumps or sprays, simply insert and it goes to work.
The Spirit Shield uses a replaceable cartridge system. A color change, visible through the top of the cork, will indicate when it is time to replace cartridge. Works for all aged spirits including Scotch, whiskey, bourbon, tequila, rum, etc.

About Jeremy Exley
After graduation, Jeremy joined Donaldson Company in Bloomington, MN where he developed the chemical filtration system for Boeing’s 787 aircraft. The knowledge from this project, other chemical filtration R&D and working in the semiconductor industry all led to a great understanding of how chemicals can be filtered. With Snake Eyes running Jeremy used his passion of engineering and chemistry to solve a newly understood problem with spirits, creating The Spirit Shield. Oxygen entering a bottle once uncorked allowed oxidation and the uncontrolled changes to the aroma and flavor of the spirit. By removing the oxygen, we are able to preserve the flavors and aromas that were bottled at the distillery.
