CONTAINER-FOR THE AGING OF WHISKY.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 16,1912.
Application filed March 13, 1911. Serial No. 614,232.
To ali 'whom it may concern; 7
Be it known that I, ALBERT S. KLEIN, a citizen of the United States, and resident of St. Louis, Missouri, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Containers for the Aging of Whisky, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in containers for the aging of whisky and has tion of a whisky barrel, the same to be inserted into a once used barrel so as to provide the proper amount of tannic acid for:
the aging of whisky in bond.
Figure 1 is a sectional view of my invention. Fig. 2 is a central cross-sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail view of a partial number of strips-or staves used in formulating the inner shell.
In carrying out my inventionI provide a shell 4 constructed of a plurality of staves or strips 5, which are made-from the refuse of the white oak of new timber, the same be- I ing'properly charred on both the inner and outer sides, the process of charring' being similar to that used for the ordinary whisky;
barrel. 1
The strips or staves 5 are held in a circular position by bands orhoops 6 constructed of suitable material such as wood which will not in any way be detrimental to the whisky placed within the barrel. This shell as constructed is placed into the ordinary whisky;
barrel or container 7.
In order to conveniently permit the 'gager to insert the gage through the bung 8 of the ordinary barrel 1 provide. a like opening 9 in the strip or stave directly opposite the bung 8. These strips or staves usedfor this purpose may be cracked irregular in surface or knotted and by the irregular surfaces the whisky Wlll be permitted to'contact with all sides of the strips and therefore extract.
from the wood the tannic acid and caramel and accomplish the same result, were the whisky placed in an absolute new barrel.
White oak that can be used for staves to construct whisky barrels is practically ex- .southern States.
hausted in the northern section of the coun= try and the cooperage industry is now compelled to use the white oak grown in the It has been found by experience that the timber from the South is more porous and defective than the timber from the northern States, and the proposition of whisky barrel construction has become a serious one. This can be avoided and overcome b constructing a shell from the strips of 0 al or inferior grade of the white oak from which the strips for the barrels proper are constructed, these strips being formulated into staves of irregular formation, the same being properly charred bothin and out and placed as a lining on the interior of the once used whisky barrel. In this manner a barrel which has once served its purpose can be again used with the same effect on the new whisky placed therein.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to have SB; cured to me by the grantof Letters Pat-- I cut, is:
1. A container for the aging of whisky comprising a shell charred both within and without in combination with abarrel or container in which the same is placed and separated therefrom by means of the-hoops with which the same is found, substantially as specified.
' 2. A container for the aging of whisky in bondcomprising a shell composed of a plurality of irregular strips or staves of inferior white oak and bound by hoops, the same being charred on both sides in. combination with a used whisky barrel, the .said staves providing the proper amount oftannic acid or caramel required for the aging of the con tents therein, substant-iallyas specified.
3. A container for aging whisky compris-' ing a shell composed of a plurality of culls charred .on both sides and bound together by means of hoops, said shell open at'both ends, in combination'with a used barrel in which the same is placed and separated from the sides thereof by means of the hoops, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof, I have. signed my name to this specification, in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
