Mines all corn likker...Never separated the heads out to appreciate em..Used to save head and tail feints.
Been tossn the fores and heads out together awhile now.
I switch over as soon as fusels kick in hard, savin till around 195-200°, or 30%ish..Feels rewarding already and haven't even decided how much or how I want to use them.

Normally I recycle mine into the wash but thanks to a recent comment by a forum member I may start blending some of the backings with my new make. The backings from the strips especially have a lot of flavor and sweetness.
