Book excerpt: Published in 1809, Samuel M'Harry's Practical Distiller book was only the second American book on distilling! It documents the early days of the development of American Whiskey. It was published only 15 years after the Whiskey Rebellion had forced a number of distillers to move down river to Kentucky. American Whiskey was mostly Rye Whiskey. All distilling was batch distillation done in pot stills, as continuous distillation had yet to be invented! The most interesting aspects of M'Harry's book are the sections dedicated to the production of early American whiskey! M'Harry discusses the production of whiskey from all rye, two-thirds/rye one-third corn, half rye/half corn, one-third rye/two-thirds corn, and all corn! The use of corn documents the early beginnings of bourbon! (Though the term "Bourbon" had yet to be used as a general style term for this type of whiskey.) More early evidence of the coming of bourbon is that he advocates burning straw in the hogshead to "sweeten" the hogshead. This could possibly be the pre-cursor to modern day barrel charring! The book also discusses the basis for Tennessee Whiskey! At that time, the style of Tennesse Whiskey had not been defined, but it discusses the use of maple charcoal filtering in the production of whiskey. (Maple charcoal filtering is a requirement for the Tennessee Whiskey style.) He advocates the use of maple charcoal to clarify whiskey and to aid in giving it an "aged flavor." If whiskey is your fancy, there is probably not a better early American distilling book for you to read. Samuel M'Harry's Practical Distiller is one of the books currently being used by the archaeology team which is excavating the distillery site so that George Washington's Distillery can be rebuilt! The team required good period information about distilling and distillery setup, and M'Harry's book is one of the few good references from this period. This books is beautiful hardcover reproduction of M'Harry's book. Featured on the cover is a gold foil stamped image of an early 1800's pot still.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I first entered on the business of Distilling, I was totally unacquainted with it. I was even so ignorant of the process, as not to know that fermentation was necessary, in producing spirits from grain. I had no idea that fire being put under a still, which, when hot enough, would raise a vapour; or that vapour when raised, could be condensed by a worm or tube passing through water into a liquid state. In short, my impressions were, that chop-rye mixed with water in a hogshead, and let stand for two or three days; and then put into a still, and fire being put under her, would produce the spirit by boiling up into the worm, and to pass through the water in order to cool it, and render it palatable for immediate use—and was certain the whole art and mystery could be learned in two or three weeks, or months at farthest, as I had frequently met with persons who professed a knowledge of the business, which they had acquired in two or three months, and tho' those men were esteemed distillers, and in possession of all the necessary art, in this very abstruse science; I soon found them to be ignorant blockheads, without natural genius, and often, without principle.
