The BATFE does not have an exemption allowing the making of distilled sprits in home quantities (unlike home brewing). You would have to get the extremely expensive tax license to even make a few Ozs of distilled spirits.

Don't want you running afoul of the law now. (particularly admitting it in public)


In theory this might help:

Note:
Pot stills are not for producing the high purity fuel alcohol like reflux stills.
Pot stills do produce the flavored liquors like brandy or whiskey that most people use for drinks.
