12 pounds (5.4 kilos) of butterscotch candy. Will any flavor come through on distillation or will it be as bland as my jolly rancher moonshine? only time will tell. Buddy of mine is turning 30 and his favorite candy is werthers so I did the only logical thing and decided to try fermenting/distilling a ton as part of his birthday gift

...huh. I can actually kind of see this working. Also I have a friend who loves werther's amd I think he'll be getting married soon, so if your version turns out to be good I'm definitely making some for his stag do

    I’ll try to let you know! I wanna say Jesse who does Still It on YouTube had good success with something similar so I’m hopeful for sure. Think I’m gonna let it ferment another 2 weeks then distill it and let it sit on small bag of the candies for another 2 if the flavor isn’t where I want it to be. If you don’t see an update and are genuinely curious just tag me if I don’t post an update on it by early August lol
