How to make Everclear alcohol smooth?!


Question: How to make Everclear alcohol smooth?
I have heard that running vodka through a Britta filter, which I assume to be comparable to a standard carbon filter, enhances the flavor of the spirit (it did on myth busters anyway). Another factor I have heard about is the number of times a spirit has been distilled. Does anyone know how to increase the smoothness of Everclear specifically. I personally think it would be a fantastic deal if Everclear could easily be made as smooth as the high end liquors.

Pouring vodka through a filter and more distilling cleans out impurities of the vodka. Everclear is almost pure alcohol, not room for impurities.

You are trying to drink grain alcohol. There is not a lot of room for what can be done to it, before it would be considered a different type of alcohol, because of the processes you are doing and because the alcohol content would lower.

It cannot. Everclear is at the highest possible distillation, it would not change it by distilling it again. 95% alcohol is the highest purity possible for distillation, for higher concentrations you have to stabilize with benzene, which will kill you. On mythbusters didn't they determine that an expert could still tell the difference? Its the shear amount of alcohol that is rough in Everclear, if you cut it in half with water it would be as smooth as any liquor out there. Put a shot in a glass of orange juice and you won't notice it at all, while you would still be able to taste most vodkas.
