Must seem like a silly question to anyone with experiance.
I had pot stilled a couple batches of sugar/water. Not the flavor I'm looking for.
Just did my first UJSSM recipie,and had high hopes of getting a nice whiskey flavor. Nope,not there.
Seems more like a vodka to me?
I had thought that oaking was optional? Makes a good whisky better. But was reading on the parent site that oaking imparts 80% of the flavor. Must I oak-n-age to get whiskey flavor? Should I not expect
whisky flavor from un-oaked/aged UJSSM?
Or maybe I got the cuts all wrong? I did very conservative cuts trying to make a quality product. I did not include any of my collection jars if it had even a hint of tails. figured being a simple pot still I'd get plenty of the congeners anyhow. Do I HAVE to throw in a little tails for flavor?
Maybe a couple other questions, but I'll start with this.
