Making some homemade rum.

Base is feed corn ($10/50lbs near me).

Pictured is the result of 8lbs of corn, 1.25L of 60% spirit, aging with some toasted applewood chips, and various spices (basically pumpkin spice).

Final result was good, but not great. Still had a very ‘fresh’ taste to it, that was pretty sharp. Might let it age longer next time: this was only aged a week (is much faster to age in a jar with chips over a barrel, due to surface area, for better and for worse).
