Just out of curiosity, how long are you aging your liquers?  Many
recipes seem to feel that their products are good to drink after about
six weeks, but I tend to find them harsh and unpleasant until at least
six months have passed. A year would be better.

Then, of course, there's the purchase/travel weight issue. Instant
vodka! Just add water! You'd think this would be insignificant unless
you're buying a 55-gallon drum, but you never know...
