OF

GRAIN

OIL.

RYE

WHISKEY.

Rectified

whiskey,

thirty-two

gallons

;

tincture

of

grains

of

paradise,

three

quarts

;

decoction

of

strong

seven

quarts;

make

a

pint

of

common

wheat

flour

into

a

smooth

paste

with

water,

add

this

to

the barrel

;

then

add

ten

drops

oil

of

wintergreen,

dissolved

in

two

ounces

of

alcohol.

This

whiskey

should

have

but

a

slight

color,

partaking

of

a

reddish

derived

from

sanders

wood.

The

most

convenient

mode

of

preparing

the

tinc-

ture

of

sanders

wood

is

to

infuse

the

wood

in

a pul

verised

state

in clear

whiskey*

if

the tincture

should

appear

heavy

or

cloudy,

it

will

have

to

be

filtered

through

sand

;

but

if

the

sanders

wood

contains

no

impurities,

and

the

spirit

that

is

used

for

digesting

it

is

bright

and

clean,

the

cloudiness

alluded

to

will

be

prevented.

The

burnt

sugar should

be

strained

before

using.
