Also curious on what benefits there are to doing it since it seems like similar form process. I found some wine comments that it relaxes some of the other rules on the label (appellation, etc) but haven't found much for spirits yet. I'm guessing it doesn't affect needs for formula approval which is really what I'm interested in (redistilled gin).

I understand the wish not to share their bad experiences but hopefully you can sum up some of their information of what they found good or lacking in various classes. I'm also looking into the workshops and this would be useful information. I'm not sure if an anonymous roundup would be welcome here or not.

I think a gin could work. You'd have to balance the juniper flavors a bit and you might end up using your best cider for your brandy and looking at other apple variety bills that give you something you can use as an undertone (and maybe cheaper). However you might experiment with non-aged or limited aged apple brandy in an eau de vie or german apfel schnaps style. I've tasted some in the past where i did not miss the lack of oak character and the apples shined.
