It would be interesting to know how much impurity is left after 2 distills, and 2 filters..

You drink it straight ! Its essentially vodka when its clean eh, I don't like it ha, I would like to see how a 90% absynthe comes out

Is that filter much more effective than the cheap traditional carbon filters?

I can't help but think that spirits made by starting with raw alcohol and then adding the flavourings (e.g. gin, rum.....) is cheating.
At least with whisky, brandy, bourbon etc, what it tastes like, depends on what its made from.

Have never understood this cleaner spirit sales pitch.

Got an essencia still producing 5 Ltrs at 90 % and filter it thru a pre Z drip filter.

Usually make just Bourbon with the chunks. Made a rum for a sailor and he was happy , now wants it a bit stronger than 40%. some ppl have no class, aye

no gin is

Agreed - no gin is! Not the blue one, not the normal one... not any of the variants. Gin's terrible no matter what you do to it (except the gin sling you can get on Singapore Airlines... and even then I'm suspicious they don't actually include gin)
