MUST LABEL
ALL WHISKY
If Blended, or Imitation, the Fact
Must Be Burned Upon the Barrel
Under Pure Food Law, in Accord
ance With New Rules
WASHINGTON', July Resinning
July 1 all hrands of booze sold within
t lie eont'ine nf tin1 I'liititl Stated must
Li' r-orreotly labeled, in ai'eordnni'e with
mien anil specifications promulgated by
the internal revenue department. Thesf
rt'ulatiuiis have been harmonized with
tin- provisions of the pure fond ami
ilniK with the re-mlt that distillers
ami blenders all over the country are
up in arms jrnd declare that they will
auiiciil to tin courts for relief from the
obnoxious rulings.
So far nn the trade is concerned, the
most important feature of ihi' ruling
in this connection is the fact that here
after lnlls must appt'ar withoiit the
addition of any adjective nr descifptive
word. " This eliminates " rye" ami
"Bourbon." whij-h heretofore have been
used tn describe tin kind of whisky.
Blends Must Be Labeled.
Heretofore all whisky, whether blond
I'd, artificially colored or njed nr mixed
with other spirits, has been marked
"whisky" on the barrels as they have
been filled and shipped from the distil
lilies and places of reetifcatinn.
Hereafter what is known as "straight
whisky.' that is, an article that has
been aged by time and not mixed with
other spirits, will be marked "whis
ky" and only that. Blended or com
pounded whisky will be marked on the
barrel in letters at least one inch long
burned into the barrel "blended whis
ky. "
A mixture of whisky with alcohol,
provided there is enough potable spirits
to make a rral compound and not the
semblance of such spirits, with the dis
lillant with which it is mixed.
Alcohol, commercial alcohol or high
wines, which have been manipulated by
the aid of artificial flavors, colors or
extracts, or otherwise, so as to resem
ble sprits, will be marked with thename
of such spirit?, preceded with the word
" imitation.
What a revolution this will make in
the business of rectifying or blending
whisky may be imagined when it is re
called that most of the whisky now
sold is compounded, blended or imitated
within the meaning of the pure food act
and that herenfter none of these pro
ducts can leave tho place of manufac
ture without carrying a mark which
will indicate to the average mind that
the spirits are some inferior article.
There is no explicit language in the
law to regulate the quantities nf in
tfredietits which shall distinguish n
"compound.' The most poisonous "min
gling" of "high wines."' red pepper,
burnt sugar and any other trash, which
in the spirit of the ruling should be
designated an "imitation'' may be con
verted into a "compound by adding
a quart or a pint even of actual whis
kv. The dishonest maker may stamp
it as "whisky, compounded with grain
distillate'' and put the stuff on the
market in defiance of the spirit of the
law and to the disgust of decent distil
b-ri and blenders.
Tew laws have ever been more open
ly defied than the pure food and drug
act in its attempt to regulate the man
ufacture of "spirits" of whatever kind.
