Turbo yeast goes to 18% abv but as you say, thats not 18% ethanol, its a lot of the other alcohols you dont want to be drinking.

Yet to clarify that response but as someone who has done more distillations in a lab than jenna jameson has had pork sausages i find this very hard to believe.
Sure, the amount of water present is greatly increased but a decent reflux still shouldn't plow thru it no worries. You get less ethanol at the end but i am aiming for quality not quantity.'
And i just picked up the peated malt too. Grrrrrr.

Had a taste, bit weird without hops but the peat flavour is really coming thru.
Picked up the pot still on the weekend. Will hit the wash with gelatine and then run it thru the still.
Quietly excited....
