Feints

Also known as tails, or aftershots. The final spirit from the spirit still at the end of distillation. The feints are low in alcohol, and are often re-distilled.

Feints (or tails) can either be blended to varying degrees with the collected hearts of the run to add flavor, or they can be added to the next spirit run of the same recipe.

Tails (feints) can also be saved up until there is enough of them to charge up the spirit still, and run as an all tails run. All tails liquor, especially from grain mashes, is usually strong on flavor when run through a pot still. All tail liquor can stand up to heavy oaking without being overpowered by the wood flavors.
