Whoa pump the brakes @bluestar. Nothing I posted was incorrect nor was it intended as anything other than additional information about age statements. The article discusses the use of the following age statement “perfectly aged for up to six to eight years”. The article also supplies reference to other areas in the CFR on age statement.

In addition to the webinar:

Tater-Talk: Age statements on straight whiskies are now meaningless

27 CFR 5.40 (e) (2) regarding Miscellaneous Age Representations and pointed out the sections that have been bolded:

“If any age, maturity, or similar representation is made relative to any distilled spirits (such representations for products enumerated in paragraph (d) of this section are prohibited), the age shall also be stated on all labels where such representation appears, and in a manner substantially as conspicuous as such representation: Provided. That the use of the word “old” or other word denoting age, as part of the brand name, shall not be deemed to be an age representation: And provided further, That the labels of whiskies and brandies (except immature brandies) not required to bear a statement of age, and rum and Tequila aged for not less than 4 years, may contain general inconspicuous age, maturity or similar representations without the label bearing an age statement.”

 

Sorry, I provided the wrong link.

Could you use one of these and reduce the MPT?

Thanks Mendodistilling. I've done what you suggested, and more. When I get mine built, I'll post photos and a material list I used.

Hey Jason,

Just curious if you are able to share your progress. Thanks!

They hold a soft spot in my heart as that was how I started but after you've burned a batch or two of corn you quickly look for other options!

What were you using as a heat source?

Just curious if you could describe what we are looking at. Did you attempt to clean the equipment prior to your first distillation?
