Thanks AM - that's the route I'll go down then.

My first batch from the stripping run is just coming through now, so I might just get a nice little tipple for Boxing Day!

Cheers to Boxing Day then Andymac..

Agreeing with Aidan here,filter before flavouring.
The way to go.
And then enjoy,boxing day at yours then?

I've just re-read your post.
I would strip,spirit run,carbon filter.flavour,and then proceed with the flavouring run.
I'm content for those that know better to jump up and down on me,but I see little point in filtering a stripped wash,flavouring,and then doing a spirit run.
I concede it will taste a lot better than the product produced from an air/smart still out of the box instructions
Filter a spirit run. And then do your flavours,with the cleanest neutral you produce.
So maybe Friday not Thursday at yours?

Sounds like I've got a full house over Christmas then! I'm half way up on the right hand side

That sounds interesting Robert - I take your post to mean that, in effect, it would be a triple distilled gin. Quite like the sound of that.

I should get enough from the stripping run to do two spirit runs. I was planning to do one with the botanicals as I mentioned, and the to other was going to add a shot of commercial flavouring as a comparison. But I think I'll change the second run to your suggestion and then compare the two.

I'll let you know how I get on when I sober up
