Just Bottled

I just bottled my first serious mash after distilling and aging about 6 months in a stick o' french oak. It's got a purty nice caramel color to it and tastes good enough to serve to company. I am not a whiskey drinker, but I think I am going to continue along this line until I perfect the product - even tho it's purty perfect now.

I used Uncle Jesse's corn/sugar recipe and distilled it three times. I am going to make up a new mash soon as I can. I didn't dilute it because it came out of the still at 55% abv so I left it as is.

You ran it three times and it came out at 55 % ABV? Strikes me as being awfully weak for triple distilled. I potstill and my second run comes out at about 73% ABV.

Or am I missing something here? Did you do three seperate (single) runs where your hearts were at 55% ?
