Job done

As mentioned before, I'm making some whisky. This is the result of three days of distilling. A total of 12 runs leaving me with about 3.6L of raw spirit at 50% ABV. I could have maybe squeezed one more run from my barrel of wash, but I'd had enough of watching and adjusting jars and heating every 15 minutes or so.

Those bottles are now combined in my little barrel which will sit in the garage for a month for the flavour to mellow. Then I will add some oak chips for a few days before diluting to 40% and bottling. Not convinced yet it will taste any good, but we will see by the end of February.

And now a chance to go out in daylight!
