San Juan Island Distillery (we get our permit from the TTB this week, according to them!) will distill our Westcott Bay Cider into apple eau de vie with a pot still. We are thinking either a Kothe or a Carl 3 plate still, haven't bought it yet. Our ultimate goal is a fine apple brandy from our prize-winning English-style cider, but we need something to sell while the brandy ages. So we are thinking of using some of the eau de vie to make gin. What do you think, can we do that?
