A glass of whisky in Scotland in the thirties cost less than a cup of tea.

I'll save AM's modesty and make this a sticky.

Not that I agree with everything he says,but for the most part,he is on the money,or at least in the ball-park.

Thanks for post on cuts,it has made things a lot clearer in my mind.
Have my jars ready and will do a run in a weeks time.
till now have been carefully doing a single run on my airstill
and was happy with the results,if a bit innocent to the real skills of distilling.
Why dont still spirits and the like tell you about such things???
Rather have a full bottle in front of me
than a full frontal lobotomy

They think that making it look easy folks won't think twice about buying one...
I tried to be normal once, worst two minutes of my life.

Well I cant wait to see and taste the difference.
I had heard of cuts heads etc ... But thought it only applied to the big stills not my little Airstill.
Now I know different,still want a T500.
Just look at it, looks like a Saturn 5 rocket on the pad.
Also 25 liters in one go.
