Looking good!

Are you going to polish it (sorry, I like shiny stuff :teasing-tease: )...

Is that a stripping run, because I don't see an alcoholmeter...

Probably will polish it one day.
There is a alcometer off screen. The heads were pushing 65%. Don't know if that's good or not

On a strip thats about were my heads fores are and it usually sits round 50/55 for bulk of the run. Spirit run starts at 85 and sits about 80 for bulk of the run. But it depends on wash abv..

Apple wood for the leaves/fruit combo because of the fruity notes.
Not sure what wood for the leaves only wash, I'll make the decision after I run it.
