A New AND IMPROVED METHOD OF DIsTIL-
LING WHIsKY.--A new and superior method of
rectifying whisky SO as to make it chemically
pure has lately been invented, and the process
used is known as the Oliver and Harris patent.
The process consists of distilling the liquor in
vacuum-pan under reduced atmospheric pres
sure, thereby requiring lower degree of tenn
perature for the operation. Liquors distilled in
the ordinary way contain very large
percentage of impurities, from the fact that
the degree of heat necessary is so
great as to vaporize all the deleterious ele-
ments and gases which when condensed form
the fusel OIL very deleterous olife and health.
The ordinary temperature for distillation is 2l2
degrees, but by the new method this is reduced
to 80 degrees. The usual methods relied upon
for the destruction of the fusel oil are age, alb
sorption by the cask, and chemical purifcants
mixed with the liquor, none of which are per-
fectly effective, By the new method the liquor
is vaporiZed and driven off at temperature
which will not affect the impurities, which con-
sequently remain at the bottom of the pan and
can be drawn off by means of stop-cock.
Various certificates from eminent chemical
and medicinal authorities in the hands of the
owners of the patent testify to the purity of the
substance. The possession of pure article is a
great boon to the medical profession and to suf-
feriDg humanity. The process ages the liquor
two years at least, and thus pure article is
obtained at a cheaper rate than an impure one
which has been kept for years to get rid OF its
imperfections.
| an establishment at No. 246 South Front street
| and No. III Dock street for the rectifying of
| whlskies by this new method. Fine machinery
| has been fitted up at great expense for the pur-
| pose, and it is now in active operation and
| working finely. The machinery consists of a
| large reservoir, vacuum pan and appliances,
exhaust and supply-pumps, receiver or con-
| denssr, a steam-engine, and patent safety
| Phlegar boiler. All who are at all interested
will do well to call at the establishment, where
| the process and apparatus can be inspected and
any information cheerfully given.
