On the weekend I got chatting to Dr Riggs the DōTERRA chief medical officer and part of the DōTERRA scientific Advisory Board, I had a lot of questions about using essential oils in the flavouring of alcohol for consumption but that’s a whole different post. Dr Riggs was telling me citrus oils when distilled, the heat breaks the oils down making several compounds, that’s why they extract citrus oils through cold press methods and not heat distillation. If the twangy taste is not the still or wash, it may be the heat interacting with some of the more delicate botanicals creating the off taste. But start simple and only make one change at a time so you can track & work out the cause so we can learn from your situation. Good luck mate, I’ll be watching with interest.
