Has anyone made AppleJack?

I stumbled upon this on youtube while checking out some whiskey/whisky reviews and I became intrigued.

has anyone made this before? If so is it any good and is it worth the effort?

This guy did a how to and it looks easy enough.

I've watched Lyle make that at his home. Good stuff. The way he fractions the alcohol was new to me, though. Lyle uses a salad spinner to pull the ice out.

Another difference is, if you put a section of 2x4 under one side of the fermenting jug, you get all the yeast onto one side. then, if you're careful, you can take that out, set it down level, and put your siphon in the bottom of the other side. The yeast seems to compact over on the other side and you don't have to worry as much about picking it up when you siphon it off.

Just a couple of thing.

Firstly, and I don't want to be "that guy", it's probably not legal to do this in the US.

Secondly, maybe most importantly,  Apples have naturally occurring methanol just from growing. Eating and cider levels it's really not an issue but when you freeze distill you are also concentrating that methanol as well as the tasty ethanol and don't really get separated out the way they would in a heat distillation method.

From link.
"this is why all the old books on cider making refer to a condition called "apple palsey" - it's the massively painfull hangover from the high methanol content. "

Well then!!!!! LoL. Never mind
