Sugar, and all about sugar washes. Where the primary ingredient is sugar, and other things are just used as nutrients.

Does an oat sugarhead still have the same mouthfeel?

Post by Steve Broady »

I’ve read about the creamy mouthfeel that oats give to a spirit. I’m curious if doing a sugarhead on the spent grain from an all oat mash would result in a similar mouthfeel.

There’s a malt house near me that sells malted oats, and I’m quite tempted to try making a single malt out of them. Which led me to wondering about the sugarhead. Would a neutral from them have that creamy mouthfeel? Or a pot distilled “whiskey”? I’ve read some comments about oats having a subtle flavor, which makes me wonder if there’s anything left to be gotten out of a sugarhead, or if it would just taste like a sugar wash.
