Double & a half distilled

Post by Cornbread »

double and a half distillation........This is achieved by distilling half the low wine (1st distillation) for a second time, adding the two halves together and then distilling the complete volume a final time.

Just curious as hell...has anyone tried this? I guess slightly more flavor would come through. I had seen this somewhere in an article I "think" for Scotch.

I bet I could ! LOL That "all corn" came out half distilled, or maybe that was half-assed distilled.
