We made a freakin still in science class in High School. In the calss, with the teacher. ran it for weeks... No ATF. just good old alcohol.

There are wine and beer making packages and a store down the street from me that just sells the supplies for that stuff. You are in no danger making up a batch of oke.

Do you have a recipe though? There are kits I have found online for making your own rum and bourbon, etc. That's nothing more than a correct barrel and a packet of flavorings. You pour in your high octane vodka and the packet and let it age for a few years. Oke is likely much the same. Start with some liquor base, a barrel, vodka and add ingredients. Maybe they actually make a mash with the stuff and pot distill it off, but, I doubt it. Alcohol is largely alcohol. Various fermenting vegetable matter can produce alcohol this way, and its just alcohol. Not a lot of flavor variation.

Here is an Ebay auction for a DIY barrel of rum.

If you have a recipe to make it, please share.
