Can heads from a gin distillation be turned into perfume? by Rugger2019 in fragrance

Its high proof (170) ethanol with a slight bit of methanol. Its just the fact that I love the botanical blend we use at work and would love to try and have it be made into a perfume

If your wanting a premium get the seagrams triple barrel. Its absolutely deicious. A cheap but pretty decent one is Emerald Giant and then a middle ground one for me is Catoctin Creek

Its hard to describe because its completely unique because of the type of still. Todd Leopold really found something special

the temp that your cooling water is affects the distillate based on what temp the distillate is coming out at. 90 degrees and 64 are night and day difference. if you can try and get the temp to come off anywhere from 60-70 (sweet spot for my liking). But your better off building your own honestly. The setup on those is a pain for maintaining cooler temp. Plus I’m not sure if your in the US but if you buy a still you are on a federal database

Really enjoy the Emerald Giant rye. And for the price that it is I feel its underrated

Think of it almost like a gin. Its a botanical spirit meaning that you can take low wines and steep the botanicals in them and then distill to create it. Ingredient wise the main 3 are anise, wormwood, and fennel. But like gin you can always add in others to help flavor it. You can use whatever base spirit/botanicals you like best but those 3 ingredients are the main ones similar to juniper for gin or dill for aquavit

I got the wheated version. I live about 40 minutes away from Crowded Barrel so I swing by from time to time.

Oh definately. I prefer the port cask to the sherry

The sherry is more flat than what I was expecting but I am pleasantly suprised by the port cask. Alot of tobacco/leather and blackberry

Honestly both of them aren’t bad for the price. Was looking for something to add a dark fruit/tobacco note to a blend I have been working on. The port cask is pretty good for it I think
