THESE
liquors,
when
tested
in
the
usual'manner,
will
present
a
fine
color,
a
good
bead,
and
an
excellent
body.
The
first
step
in
this
process
is
to
provide
one
or
more
filters.
These
are
to
be
use^d
in
giv-
ing
a
body
and
bead
to
the
spirit.
A
whiskey
bar-
rel
will
answer.
It
should
be
provided with
a
per-
forated
false
bottom,
firmly
secured
about
twelve
inches
above
the
bottom
of
the
barrel,
and
it
should
be,
packed
in
the
same
manner
as
the
stands
or
fil-
ters
(for
which,
see
under
its
appropriate
head),
