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

Why not take the lemoncello approach and flavor the distillate afterward?

    Oh I’ll probably end up doing that too! It’s mainly for science and fun, I’ve also distilled flamin’ hot Cheetos so I may have a screw or ten loose up in the head, just something about making liquor/beer/wine from non traditional ingredients gets me fired up and in the mood to brew lol.
