TO RECAP: when it comes to proof, the spirit must exceed the 95% ABV threshold during distillation to be a vodka, whereas it cannot exceed the 95% ABV threshold during distillation to be a whiskey. if you find a leak you need to plug it quickly, I had a bad gasket on my still, and tightening the Tri clamp didn't help so I went old school moonshiner on it.

Distilleries bring two materials into close proximity – alcohol vapor and heat sources – that can cause disastrous explosions when not managed correctly. But just as with vodka, as long as the spirit is then cut with water during the bottling process such that it’s still above 40% ABV when bottled, it’s a whiskey.First off you will need a still to turn the low level of alcohol in to spirit, traditionally vodka is done in a pot still and is processed multiple times. Now this one was a learning curve for me as I have mostly done sugar washes and a couple of All Grain Mashes. As long as the spirit coming off the still is at or above 95% alcohol by volume (ABV), and as long as it is then cut with water to no less than 40% ABV when bottled, you’ve got a vodka. Just like the gangsters during the American Prohibition, we bottle these in original Mason Jars, resulting in a unique tasting experience. Sat at an eye popping 100 PROOF, this shine hits with vanilla, sweet caramel married with corn flavours and subtle wheat notes to give this barrel aged expression a truly unique offering.
