I'm quite pleased with the results. I made eight hand numbered 10 oz bottles and put them in gift bags with recipe cards and a mix CD. I recommend giving it a shot. Love it! I had a spiced rum that featured cardamom. I'd like to try to recreate that at some point. I've been thinking of giving this a try for something a bit different as well: http://smallscreennetwork.com/video/768/morgenthaler_method_dark_and_stormy
