Yeah, was thinking of buying a bottle as they are not far from me but I have no money so I'm going to concentrate on my own stuff for now.

Wow, that video makes me want to try a bottle. 119 distillations, holy crap. I wonder how much heat he has to throw at the boiler to get it to boil up through that many plates?

They're sure taking it to the limit, I'd hate to see how much that tower cost. He kept talking about the unique potato flavor, with that many distillations, I'd be surprised if it had any flavor what-so-ever.

My thoughts exactly! I don't even have my still yet, but as it goes through each stage and leaves more and more of the impurities behind, wouldn't the end product just be darn near laboratory-grade ethanol? Not that there's anything wrong with that. Do they use potato flavored water to bring it back down to 40%? That's the only way I can imagine any flavor at all getting into the final product.
