JOHN r. GREELEY, or BoSro-N, MASSACHUSETTS;
Letters Patent No. 109,611, dated- November 29, 18u70 antedated November 17, 1870.
IMPRVEMENT IN APPARATUS FOR AGING WHISKY AND OTHER SPIRITS.
The Schedule referred to in these Lettera Patent and part of the same.
I, J oHN P. GREELEY, of Boston, iu the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented cert-aiu Improvements in Apparatus for Toning Whisky and other Liquids, of which the following is a specification.
Figure l is a perspective view of my invention with the front removed, Aand IFigure 2, a vertical central section of the same.
The object of this invention is to remove the raw taste of new whisky or other liquors, and give the same age and tone in a few hours by cooking it in a `close chamber; and
1in-consists mainly of such a vchamber provided with a descending series of vessels, -each of' which is divided into two compartments, viz., a tank for hot water or steam in the lower part, and a shallow trough in the upper'part, the liquor running over each of said vessels in Succession. V
The upper part ot' said chamber isdivided into another chamber, which may contain ice or other refrigerating material.
The details ot` construction and method of operation will be more fully described hereafter.
In the drawing- A represents an air-tight chamber or apartment, which has a sliding door, a., in one side, and a flue, B, through the top, which flue is covered by the cap b.
-The upper part of chamber A is .divided by the horizontal partition G into a smaller chamber, c.
D D represent a series of vessels within chamber A, descending diagonally from the upper to the lower part of the same.
Said tessels are of any suitable number, and are divided into two parts, d d1, the former ot' which constitutes a tank or water-receptacle, while the latter constitutes a shallow trough, in one side of which are the orifices E represents a tube .leading' from the outside of i Operation. The tanks d are lled with hot water or steam by means of pipes E e, and the liquor to be treated is admitted through pipe Fito the trough :l1 of the upper vessel D, which it lls,"and' overflows through orilicesll1 to the trough ot the next lower vessel;v and so on until it reaches the trough G and Hows out through tube H.
This process separates all the gases from the liquor in the form of vapor, which `may be allowed to-pass out'through tube or tlue B by removing cap b, ormay be condensed upon the bottom of chamber c, the same being filled with ice or other refrigerating material,
and returned to the bottom of. the chamber.
Whenever a draught through the apparatus is necessary, the door a is opened and cap b removed.V
The method of heating or cooking liquor by hot water obviates all danger of burning the same.
The objections to methods for aging liquor heretofore used are: the scorching of the liquor by hot air, the great shrinkage by evaporation, or the injurious effect of chemicals introduced.
My method has none of these objections, and liquor treated by it has all the qualities of liquor three years old andupward. p
The'poisonous gases and injurious volatile products are eliminated without injury to the liquor and with but slight loss of proof, while the expense of the treatment isnothing compared with that connected with other methods, and especially the usual one ol' keeping the liquor incasks in a room heated to a high dei grec. q
Having thus fully described my invention,
That I claim as new, and desire to secure by`Letters Patent, is'- 1. The vessels D, consisting ot' the tanks d and troughs di, as and for the purpose set forth.
2. lhe vessels D,in combination with tube F, trough G, and tubes Jil e, substantially as.described.
3. The chamber A, in combination with the flue B and door a., as shown.
4. The combination ofthe chamber A and refrigerating-chamber C.
5. rlhe combination of chamber A, refrigerating-- chamber C, vessels D, pipes E e'l1,tiue B, and door a, arranged a'nd operating substantially as' described.
In testimony whereof', .I have signed my name to this specification' in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
J )HN P. GREELEY.,
Witnesses.
