casks. from which II absorbs certain
ethers and essential oils contained in the
wood. and necessary to it's perfection. BY
the method of Professor Martinotu fine
shavings OF OAK are placed in the cask
with the new spirit and allowed to remain
cor one month. the cask being occasionally
turned over. At the end OF this time the
liquor is altered and decanted into white
glass bottles. which are filled about two
thirds fun and after being very lightly
corked are placed In an inclined position,
care being taken that the brandy does not
touch the stopper by this means the larg-

to produce good brandy is materially has
