It is time for a scientific experiment. Having recently got the cheapest alcoholic cider I could possibly get from the local supermarket and tried carbonating I Thought you know what would be interesting if I ran a bottle of this through the water distiller, what would actually come out? Would it be Appley or would it have no flavor at all? There's only one way to find out and that is to crack this bottle open and run this Duty peed alcohol through the distiller and see what happens. Let's see if I can tip this in a controlled manner without pouring it everywhere. This may take a while to tip, then this will.

It's splashing everywhere. That's uh, that's uh. it's expected. rotate What? At this point it's going to take a while to come out here.

At this point, it's going to take a while to come out. Uh, I shall keep pouring in, run it through, and I'll be back in a moment one moment, please. The experiment is done and it threw up a wildly unexpected result. Something that took me by surprise.

So this is a 2.5 liter bottle at 7.5 volume. and when I computed that, it came out at 180 milliliters of pure ethanol. So I compute it. Well, if you divide that down to the equivalent of 40, then it would be 470 milliliters and I marked that on the side of a glass and then just run it through until it reached the top.

It's a pint of vodka is in your Frosty tracks bottle. you should probably be aware of that and a a Russian spirtomer floated in it showed that it was 40. So um, it's a lot of alcohol. Oh anyway, here's the Appley residue that was left in the tank afterwards.

Let's taste and see what is left. It's definitely very Appley but it doesn't seem as sweet and it wouldn't be the sugar that would go across. It would have been sweeteners of anything if it's lost sweetness, but it does seem to taste quite dry. Maybe I just have a different memory of the taste of the actual stuff out the bottle.

I should have tasted it beforehand, shouldn't I Here however, is the spirit that came out which I ran through until it reached the 40 volume. What does it taste like? bitter. It's got strong, strong, bitter note to it that I wouldn't really associate with cheap Supermarket vodka. This is a sort of bitter note that they'd probably hide in drinks like gin by adding Juniper and flavorings to it, which then became a designer drink.

but that's a minor technicality. um I don't get the the sweetness I thought sweetness would have gone across I'm not really detecting. Then again, it is 40 percent vodka type stuff so there is no real flavor at all other than that strong bitter note. so that concludes the experiment.

Um I Wouldn't recommend distilling stuff like that. You're going to end up with a there's no point you'd be better, just cheaper and easier going and buying a bottle of vodka. But you know I Felt the need to do the experiment anyway and see what happened and well I have to say, a pint of vodka? a pear bottle? That's quite a lot. That was the biggest surprise of the whole video.
