Yup. If you run in reflux real hard and fast it will smear the heads and tails across the whole run and then retain some flavor. BUT, if you want good cuts and retain flavor run it slow in the pot still.

This is a neutral so either is fine --- although this does have a faint flavor that is quite likable so try both."

It is nothing that you did at all. We have had a real issue recently of a member hijacking threads and causing precisely this to happen. Their junk posts have been removed (more than 1000 posts!), taking substantial time. It looks like this may be starting to happen again. I will clean this thread up so that we can get back to answering the original question, but will leave this post in place as a reminder.

As Bushy and Heeler have both expressed, if you are aiming for a neutral spirit then run in reflux for high purity and to reduce any congeners. If you want to carry some flavor then pot distill and make careful cuts. :)
