Module 4
Holy Trinity Distillation Framework
Use heads/hearts/tails as a flavor tool: build the front, middle, and back of a spirit on purpose.
A practical, three-part model for distilling: (1) heads/hearts/tails as fractions, (2) how fruit and earthy flavors associate with smearing, and (3) a simple tasting method that helps you judge whether a spirit is one-, two-, or three-dimensional.
What you'll learn
- How heads, hearts, and tails connect to both sensory experience and flavor
- Why “smearing” can be a feature (or a flaw) depending on the spirit style
- A simple tasting method to identify front/middle/back dimensions
- How different spirit categories benefit from different cut styles
