Hello,
I’ve tried a recipe of “gin” using a Pot Still and a white rum molasses as a base for my maceration. I did the maceration of my botanicals in a white rum (molasses) issued form a stripping run and then did a spirit run with all the botanicals inside the pot still and made my cuts (collecting the heart till 50%vol.).
The gin (or botanical rum) was good but we could still taste the flavor of the rum.
As it’s easier for me to work with this molasses base, I’d like to try again but to have less of this “rum” taste. I was thinking about doing a triple distillation.
One stripping run form molasse,
One second distillation making “light” cuts
Doing the maceration of my botanicals in this second run reduced around 45%vol. for 24 hrs.
One third distillation (spirit run) with the previous run including the botanicals and making my normal cuts (I use to take off 200 ml at least for 30 L of mash) and stop collecting the heart around 50-45%vol.
Would that be efficient to get closer to a gin profile flavor?
What do you think about that?
Thanks guys!
