true, but if you had a use for it, it can be done.

I can't understand why every manufacturer can't make vodka as smooth as Ketel 1. That low end vodka tastes like something that should be run through a bunsen burner,...while the good stuff is so smooth that you have to pay special attention to moderate it or you'll get yourself hammered in short order.
Seems to me like, if somebody is going to go to the trouble to distill spirits, they should learn to do it right. How much extra trouble and expense can it be? all in the cuts, lots of lower end stuff leaves in more heads and tails to get more product. thats why good shine cut right will not give you a hangover. I've heard that before...always figured it was part bullschitt and part true...the key for me seems to be to eat something and drink a few glasses of water before going to bed. the heads is what will give you the hangover and make it harsh, people will mix some in for more volume. the tails are what can give that wet dog smell taste. though you can add a little tails . making cuts take practice i use proof, smell, taste and touch to do it.

I don’t think MM is looking for Spanokpitas quality wine, just something slightly above prison toilet hooch. 😁 One of our customers brought me a (supposedly) good bottle of wine for Christmas...It tasted like fermented, half rotten, sour grapes...I've had other wines and IMHO, most tasted like schitt...I guess I'll never be a "connoisseur" of fine wines...I had home made blackberry brandy years ago, and it was quite tasty.... Lolol....I damn sure ain’t no wine connoisseur. I go over to a buddies ranch for a “wine tasting and music jam”. I finally told them to quit wasting the $300 bottle swill on me and just fill my glass with Pendleton and a Budweiser chaser. 😁

Listen to Roger. The foreshots are more volatile organic compounds and truly toxic.

How many still passes do you do? Scotch malt whisky is usually distilled (in pot stills) twice, sometimes three times. Not necessarily in the same still either.

In some distillations, whisky, for instance, the cuts are actually made to include some cogeners so particular flavor profiles are maintained. It is no real secret that very pure liquor can be obtained in one pass through a good reflux column still. Whisky is, by law, distilled at a lower temperature than Vodka, for this very reason.

I'd guess that making liquor is kinda like handloading ammo.
You spend just as much, but you take more shots. You can also be blinded if you screw up either bad enough. How so? Primers... powder.... oops... BOOM.... where’d everybody go? Hey, the still is starting to run..... well daaaaang.... lets get us a couple shots a that clear.... where’d everybody go? Dumb people win dumb prizes....
You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......
