This is an advanced option if a useful whiskey region is narrow; it should not be improvised without statistical validation.
NIST describes transformed coordinates and design alternatives.
For some bounded mixture regions, transformed pseudo-components can be used to construct and fit simplex designs; NIST also notes that computer-aided designs such as D-optimal designs can select points in constrained regions.
