Excellent stuff. In my college days, we had an all glass still going 24/7
in the basement of the chemistry building. The StillMaster (that's what
we called him any way) was from the hills of Kentucky. He said that he
used his great grampappy's recipe. Wouldn't tell anyone.

Talk about smoooooooooth. I don't think there are enough "ooooo"s around
to describe it. But boy, what a kick? Better not be sitting down when
you take a swig, or you won't be getting up.
