filtering it through charcoal takes the edge off, makes it a little smoother.

Filtering? when I bought mine in MS 30 years ago they just put the charcoal in the bottom of the jar that I bought. Still, it did have a good taste if you let it settle before partaking.

That would work too. Doesn't look very pleasant though. All you need to do is buy a few of those aquarium charcoal sacks, rinse them, then slowly run your distillate through it a couple times. Or you can let it sit for a few days, weeks or months in large gallon jars, then pour it off, then cut it.

You are crazy if you don’t cut it. You can seriously damage your liver drinking uncut shine. Even cut 50%, it’s still much stronger than “government” whiskey.
