The point of distillation (of alcohol) is to separate the ethanol from the other undesired components. The distillation process takes advantage of the different volatilities. In the fermented MASH are undesired substances more volatile than ethanol (e.g. methanol) which will distill out first. This is the Heads and is discarded. Once these more volatile compounds are eliminated you have the Heart of the run which is the quality product. Finally if you keep distilling you begin getting some undesirable lower volatility substances, oils and water, the Tails, which is also discarded by stopping the distillation run. The art of the experienced distiller is to know when to draw the lines between Head, Heart, and Tail. The more selective one is, the higher quality (but less quantity) of the produced distillate.

Where is a shrimps heart located?
A shrimps heart is located on its head. If we base it on the exact anatomy of a shrimp, its heart is located on its thorax just after the head, but both the head and the thorax are covered with a single exoskeleton only, that is why the shrimps thorax can be mistaken as still part of the shrimps head. But in general, we see a shrimp divided only into 2 parts, the head and the tail, we see no thorax in it.
