Dont really know what to say . Ive been doing fruit for years and never had a taste problem. Might be what your expecting in taste.Fruit likker will have a after taste of the fruit its made from if your looking for a stronger fruit taste then that liquer might be what ya need to try.How many time ya runnung it and how far into tails will have a lot to do with flavor.
I use a pot still.Sometimes with a thumper

the column might be a factor
my first impression is that your still is efficiently seperating the components of the wash. your column is adding many extra theoretical plates. you need a less effective purification to get more flavor. the flavors may have been purified out of the product.
a simple pot still may do the trick for you.

Thanks guys,I only ran it once and collected till I only had water coming out.
When I seen it didn't have any flavor I put it with my heads from my sugar washes I've been saving.I have enough copper to build a old fashion pot still with a worm out of 3/8 if 20' is enough.When I get time.I have flavored some sugar washes I have run,but I want to do it the right way and I know I can
thanks again.
