This vintage book contains a detailed handbook on the analysis of potable spirits. It was originally intended to "induce analysts to take up a more detailed examination of potable spirits", and is highly recommended for those with an interest in the history and development of alcoholic analysis. Contents include: "The Chemical Characteristics of Potable Spirits", "Methods of Analysis: Standards, and the use of Pure Alcohol in Analysis", "Distillation of the Spirit for Analysis", "The Estimation of Aldehydes and Acids", "The Estimation of the Higher Alcohols", "The Estimation of Compound Ethers", "The Estimation of Furfural", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on cocktail and beverage making.
