White light Rum from honey

Post by MooseMan »

I posted a thread a few months back about some dark glazing honey mix that I have.

I was intending to just use it as a source of sugar for making neutral, and I've now successfully run several stripped gallons of it through my CCVM and made nice clean neutral.

So in that thread lots of guys suggested I try making a rum style drink with it.
I've got another 5 gallons stripped, and I want to pot still it to make a white rum that can be drunk young, then also age some when I have what is needed.

I'll run it through my small gin still not the big pot, as I don't want to make huge volumes.

The strip tastes pretty good, with an almost grain finish, like smooth oat/wheat. But it's a bit hot as it's smeared to hell and back.

I've never really paid much attention to making Rum as it's not something I generally go for, but should I be adding anything to the stripped wash to modify it before I spirit run it, if I'm aiming at a light white rum end goal?

I'm going to run some of the strip as is anyway, to see what I get, but would appreciate any steer from the regular rum guys here, on things I can/should do for rums.

I've read here about Dunder pits and growing all kinds of nasty stuff in them, but that scares me a bit!
