What's up man? I am in Gwinnett county. That's cool that you live so close. Hey they have to have people like us here to try to balance out all of the hardcore fundamentalists.

Old bootlegers used to polish there whiskey in glass jugs. Or in Large "CHARED" barrels. When using the glass jusgs they woud add a peace of oak charecoal. They would then let it rest for at least 10 months.

i know its not absinth, but if it was absinth i wouldnt be wondering about getting rid of the bad taste of wormwood with charcoal...

but ya mine are just taking a while cause they are still tiny.  only a few weeks old from seed.  i had a couple bigger ones that kaked it in the cold.

thanks for the offer, but im - about 5 grand for my car so right now $200 is a lot of money.  perhaps in the future.

thanks again :smile:  just bad timing for me.

poliching whiskey isnt that great an idea cause it takes teh taste out of the whiskey.  which is what got me thinking about the wormwood.  anyway i guess what i should have asked is:  "will the activated charcoal take out the active ingrediants in wormwood?"

No, activated charcoal will take the fusel oil out, only distillation will remove the absinthol [bitterness].

I have to disagree

No its old time tried n true way of makin whiskey. The hooch comes out with all sorts of impurities left behind. It also comes out more like straight grain alcohol but when you age it in oak chared barrels much like wine is it imparts many of the "Whiskey" like charecteristics

interesting. that article explains it as the charcoal has pits and various things cling to them. tehrefor taking out things like harsh drink and flavouring. but once its full it cannot obsorb any more. so aging it for 10 months would leave a lot and the chared wood would probably add to it. but at first it should take some of teh flavouring out of the drink.
