Where taste for the ardent obtains
it has persuasiveness that is wonder
full, and. Sam Jones says, Overpowering.
The better the class of goods the more
persuasive would seem to be about the
natural course in all matters. and there
is no reason why it should not be so in
strong drinks, and arguing from this
point and judging from the expressions
Of the judges yesterday it would appear
that the J. II. Cutter Old Whiskey has
fine way Of furnishing the delights OF
the palate.
g. =. Norman. of Louisville, Ky.,
has the article on exhibition, and his
introduction OF it was popular fea-
ture at the Fair yesterday.
DISCOVERED LONG AGO.
This is the way the gentleman in
charge of the stand talked:
" 1t WAS long time ago discovered
that by mixing different whiskeys in pro-
portions a product WAS obtained supe-
rior to any single constituent. This is
parallelcd by the combination OF wines
to make champagne. The combination
was styled blended whiskey and be-
came popular from the first. But every
good thing is followed by a throng OF
limitations and base counterfeits. As
result, blended whiskey is term sus-
ceptibe OF q variety Of definitions it
very often means adulteration or the
literal manufacture OF whiskey from
high-wines, others. flavorings, and col
oring. We do not use it i'll either Of
these senses What we understand by
blended whlskeys is the amalgamation Of
whiSkeys of various years production,
different bodies and ilavors, the whole
properly combined without the addition
OF any foreign substances whatever 1t
is well known that champagne does not
grow, but is the product OF blending OF
wines possessing various qualities which,
when mixed together, form the most ex-
pensive wine in the market. Just so
with the finest grades of whiskey. The
straight whiskeys of different years dis
tillation are mixed together, just as they
mix the finest French brandies OF va
rious yintages.
THE BEST MATERIALS.
Like work OF art, while all
OF the materials must be OF tho
very best. the highest effect can
be produced only by blending the sep
aratc parts into harmonious whole.
The only whiskey which has been recog-
nized as having attained this result, and
which, i'll the face Of all kinds OF com
petition, maintains its supremacy un-
diminished and untarnished, is uni
versally admitted to be y. II. Gutter
