"I'm guessing of course on why your's didn't give you the taste you were after but maybe your stillin technique was off.
With the original post one can ONLY speculate on a cause and effect of dissapointment. Lots more info is needed to help you at all. Sorry mate."

If you refluxed it, that would take most of the flavor out. A pot still would give you more flavor but lower alcohol content.

I tend to agree with the previous thread responses, if you used peach it should have a peach "taste right".
This may have to do with the type of still you used perhaps.
If your ABV is over 83% then you are starting to head towards what is called a neutral spirit (Vodka).
My best guess is that could have been your issue, check your ABV and adjust accordantly.
