But it has no flavour, and as per a 'normal' still there is no colour (a properly used still puts out a transparently clear liquid).
So now the flavour is added by a wee bottle of whatever flavour you want (whiskey, gin, etc).
For colour you add a wee bottle of a colouring agent.
Eeek...this is not proper booze. It's a travesty...but some folks like it 'cos it's quick.
My old mate had one (a Still Spirits still). It made booze for sure but it's not a proper drink...just flavoured sugar water with added colour.
I used grain for my whiskies, and molasses/raw sugar for my rum.
Anyway, these are the cheap and quick flavours, and stills...

I just put this in a bottle, all the apples from my tree, it’s coming along nicely, the rest can stay on the oak for a little longer.
