I toured a small distillery that makes very nice bourbon using a batch process on a 4-plated still. I asked them about cuts and they insisted that they barreled everything that comes off the still from heads to deep, negligible alcohol content tails. No alcohol goes down the drain.
Do you think that's for real? I tasted their bottled white dog product and it tastes for all intents & purposes like what comes off a home still where head & tail cuts are made.
I do not understand how that can be done without the cloudiness and off-flavor of tails or the heat from heads.
No Cuts for Bourbon. For Real?
