Was reading an interesting thread on HD today where "potato water" was added to rum washes to enhance mouth feel (fuller, creamier texture). Basically, cut a spud into quarters, bring it to the boil for an hour, toss the spud and throw in the cooled water to the rum wash. Surely with the experiment.

I was recently reading an in depth rum thread on another forum, one of the members started adding potato into his rum ferment. Quite a few members jumped on board and gave it a go too. All with positive results. I'll quote as follows: "it leaves an incredibly velvety mouth and subtle earthy sweetness unlike any other single ingredient. A sensation [not the taste]somewhat like warm milk straight from a cow's tattas [biological cow of course, not jacked on roids and antibiotics, like in the good ole days] :mrgreen: :wink:
I thought this was worth sharing. If you are interested the threat is located here:
