Short questions

Here I have 3 questions and I will be glad if you can help me to understand.

I'm not sure to what refer "high quailty middle run"? What is run?

lower grade four and after shots - Also here I don't know to what reffer lower grade (of what?)

"After shots" is it a slang?


(At 2:05 I add the video if that can help to understand better)

Because the master distiller is unable to smell or taste the alcohol as it runs into the safe, it's at this point his skill really comes into its own. The master distiller judges the alcohol by sight alone. He separates the high-quality middle run of the new spirit from the lower grade four and after shots.

Although I am not familiar with distiller's jargon, I think I understand. When you distill, there comes a point when liquid starts to flow out of the tubing. At first, it is not ideal for drinking (the "fore" shot - note the spelling - both you and the subtitles got it wrong), but after a while it becomes good (the high-quality middle run), and it stays that way until it starts to peter out at the end (the after shot).

Based on what was given in the video, apparently, in the distilling, what is desired is the "high-quality middle run" only, which is what is bottled as "Scotch." Leading up to this "middle run," you apparently have the "grade four run," which is not bottled, and after the "middle run," you have so-called "after shots," which are not bottled either.
