Treat it the same as any wash, it will come out clear and should have some flavour similar to a brandy perhaps.
Always give the hardest job to the laziest person because they will always find the easiest way to do it.

I ran some unpleasant tasting cider through my still (not air-still) and the resulting alcohol was good enough as you'd expect. Strong? Well, yes. Why not just run it and see? Experience begats wisdom - and you lose very little other than time....

@haziflad: You will finish up with a brandy if you distil to brandy specifications. The fruit you started with dictates that. If you distill to a higher level you could arrive at an odorless tasteless neutral. You will never get a whiskey, bourbon, rum or tequila out of it. Good luck and have fun.

....and will it be strong? There are many variables to take into consideration and I can't answer that accurately. But it could well be very strong.
