Heh I'm the same. During the peak production I run pretty slow but as time goes along I tend to bump the temp a tiny bit just to get all the way to 96 in my column

I'm assuming that your water flow is adjusted to take it out of full reflux after you've reached the end of each step? Do you keep outlet temp at it at around 55c?

I think that's the big difference. I was heavily into whiskies before I started brewing beer, so this is like a renewed love for me. Being able to make the thing I've been loving for so long is fantastic.
Anyway, my next big thing (beside the whiskies, obviously) will be a distilled honey drink. I'm not sure how I'm going to get there purely because of the price of honey, but I guess we'll see someday. Hopefully sooner rather than later. I plan on making a distillate and then backsweetening it with honey, similar to the Jack Daniels Tenessee Honey. Maybe that's a good place to start - an all-grain distillate, placed on charred oak to sweeten out, proofed down to around 40%, maybe a bit less, and then sweetened with honey. I want it to be a relatively sweet "on the rocks" sipper.
