12 pounds (5.4 kilos) of butterscotch candy. Will any flavor come through on distillation or will it be as bland as my jolly rancher moonshine? only time will tell. Buddy of mine is turning 30 and his favorite candy is werthers so I did the only logical thing and decided to try fermenting/distilling a ton as part of his birthday gift

If you're on to something here, maybe the old timers will offer it next to their candy dishes. The younger generations joke about old people always having butterscotch candies when we know damn well everyone eats a couple of them when they are visiting.
