I personally trust my taste more than my nose.
Starting out you want to discard first 50ml as fores then collect the spirit in 100ml lots using multiple jars and put them aside for 24hrs to air.
Starting in the middle, take a sample from the jar and water it down to 25-30% (lower abv = more noticeable flavour) and taste it, if its nice keep it, move to the next jar and repeat working your way down towards tails, then go back the other way towards heads. You will soon know what flavour you like and dont like. If you are unsure about the sample, leave it out and put it in your feints - if you get greedy with cuts you will only stuff it.
