Duffy Malt Whiskey Co., Gentlemen: I have
completed a careful and most exhaustive chem
zeal analysis Of nufy's Pure Malt Whiskey,
which showed it to be pure whiskey, uncontam-
mated with foreign matter. The search for fusel
oil demonstrated the remarkable purity Of this
whskey as notwithstanding the most delicate
tests known were employed in this investigation,
the mere traces of this poisonous matter found
were such as to be incapable of determination.
This unusual result speaks more eloquently than
words, the care taken in its production, while it
is an unfailing Indication of "age' of the whis-
key, which is SO essential to an article to be
used for medicinal purposes.
The various tests made We're the most rigid
and exhaustive of any similar examinat ions ever
made in this laborat tory. and the results obtained
were of the most fattering character, indicating
that the Duffy Malt Whisky Company's product
is an article of exceptional merit, and we'll de-
serves its name of Medicinal Whiskey.''
