It appears reasonable that as to the manner in
which the final collection of the distillates in the
receivers governs the maturation that to the foreshots,
or a portion of them, is attributable to the quality of
rapid maturation and production of a fine aroma, whilst
to the tailings he attributes the characteristics of those
strong, persistent fiavors which can only he partially
eliminated by long storage at low strengths and low
temperatures. Some distillers, whilst careful in their
final distillation to run all the foreshots into the feints
receiver, yet maintain the collection of fine spirits too
long, until, in fact, they cause strong feints to collect
with them.
