So I decided to just use the homemade job. Thought it worked well, the stripping run went great taking off about 3.5l an hr and the spirit had that sweet molassesy smell and aftertaste. The spirit run refined it quite a lot and I just cant find those real rummy flavours. Abv throughout the run was as one would expect from a pot, starting off at 80 for a few litres then slowly working its way down. I have read that the rummy flavours dont come through a lot until a few months on oak though. So I guess my question is, does it sound normal for a rum run? Or is the still somehow draining out the cogeners during hearts. I put all my jars in to age after heas down to 63% on the spirit run
