How about aging and flavouring??
I\'ve seen a very nice parrot for sale - in Portugal.

The price is very nice but I\'m hesitant to get something that can only be used as part of distillation through the post as it could be examined by customs...

Just spotted a thread on Artisan about white rum. It seems a reflux column such as a T500 is essential

I can see the conversation now \"I need to get a T500 to be able to make you barcardi...\":)

It seems to be fairly basic, molasses wash, run it through the T500, age for a while (wood chips??) and then carbon filter
