ON
THE
MANUFACTURE
OF

LIQUORS
FROM
RECTIFIED
WHISKEY,
BY

BY THE
USE

AROMATICS.
WHEN
ethers
are
used,
the barrels
should
be
closely
bunged,
as
the
ether
will
soon
escape
by
evaporation
if
exposed.
The
perfume
of
the
essential
oils
are
more
lasting
than
those
of
the
ethers.
The
objection
to
the
essen-
tial oils
is,
that
their
odors
are
too
common,
and
will
detect
themselves.
These
remarks
apply
more
particularly
to
the
oils
of
cinnamon,
cloves,
aniseed,
and
peppermint.
The
perfumes
best
suited
to
this
purpose,
are
acetic
and
nitric
ether,
oil
of
wintergrcen,
oil
of
lemon,
essence
of
ambergris,
oil
of
mace
and
creasote.
The
ethers
are
usually
found
in
two
to
five
pound
pack-
