Do you carbon fllter

[popcorn sutton]

not filtered and tastes ok to me

I always filter my neutral through the essencia, It's amazing at polishing up a batch, mainly the ceramic filter removed any sharp smells and it comes out really smooth, even if you make a mistake or are a tiny bit greedy with your cuts.

I have almost 4 litres of rum at 65% on oak, I'm going to put this through the essencia too but with only the carbon filter, not the ceramic one, I'm after a smooth white rum, I should get 6 litres at 40%

However this is somewhat of an experiment, time will tell if it's any good

Due to renovations for an imminent change of residence,- due to happen this week-end,finally! I have been very short of physical "do stilling stuff" time this year.
Have run Lentil wash after Lentil wash to keep the supplies going.And pot stilling them.
Obviously chasing neutral,and owning an Essencia filter have been using it.
With very satisfactory results.
Now,had I been running a reflux still,the filtering probably would not have been needed.

The pot stilling of the same Lentil wash has become so formulaic,that I don't need to taste it to make cuts.A smell of the bottles that are around the usual cut-off points,after airing is almost always good enough.Distilling by numbers,not a mystery.Simples.
