SteelB Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 So i spit my spirit runs as i like to not stop and start again. in the middle of the run. Last weeksomething came up and i was unable to finish, I Usually fininsh,dump ,rinse ,and re load that day since it didnt finish, i added the next run into the tank and fired it up and took off. As we were approaching the tails it turned to cinnamon whiskey ........Any ideas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silk City Distillers Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Had a similar experience running a single-pass rum. Emergency came up, had to shut down and leave. Restarted the next day. Peppery, hot, spicy, awful. Ended up destroying the second half. Someone had mentioned to me perhaps it was increases in acrolein or other aldehydes due to the extended time at high temperature (thermal decomposition), which seemed plausible. I’ll never stop a run again though, that’s for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViolentBlue Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 sweet cinnamon then followed by less sweet, bakers cinnamon, is a normal progression of flavors in the distillate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneFootKev Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I second what ViolentBlue said - close to tails sounds accurate as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
