Wow. Beautiful. Are there snakes though 😊

 

[Faizal_p]

Didn't see any snakes, bitten to shreds by mosquitos though! Loads of lizards and there's a tiger reintroduction area.

Ironic timing. A distiller I follow just posted that he got bitten by a pit viper.

You ok? Viper bite sounds scary!

First and second pull collected. Now final low temp, slow cook for the next 5 days to see what heavier compounds can be extracted.

That looks nice! 🙂 What kind of wood was this distilled from?

Amazing work and must have cost a small fortune to make

 

[Olfactory Nomad]

Drool.

Honestly people on this forum really don't understand the lengths to which some vendors go... what Faizal is doing is not a commercial undertaking. It really is pure passion (or insanity). Not profit.

Yeah I could've sold this wood very easily for a nice profit but I really really wanted to create a mind blowing oil and something extremely unique. The guy working in the distillery helping us out was laughing and crying in equal measures! "Why are you crushing this?!”

Third and final pull completed. Now it's time for curing and drying. Keep an eye out for release date. Samples will be made available
