I enjoyed this course so much! Very informative and answered allot of my questions as a home distiller.
Looking forward to doing more courses with Distillique and to see what my future in the Craft Distillers world could become.
Really makes a novice like me want to be seriously involved in the Craft business!
Awesome
Comprehensive
I loved it and thought it was a great course. I am now in the process of getting my certificate of attendance and moving forward with the W1 The fruit-based spirit course and also want to do the grain based such as Vodka. I really enjoyed the course and it has been really something knowledgeable and answered all of the questions I had in the beginning when I wanted to start distilling teaching me new things! I am very excited to build on my knowledge that I have obtained and cannot wait to do the practical part of the course putting some of my knowledge to the test.
