A few years ago at a festival I met some people from upstate New York that distilled their own. In trying to overcome the general bitterness the created a series of flavored concoctions. The goal wasn't to get rid of the bitter taste but to try to find something that would either tone it down or compliment it. My favorite of the 12 or so they had on hand was wasabi flavored. Still bitter but the fire of the wasabi brought out a lot of different notes. It led to a very interesting evening.
