Bowers Defines Whisky Scope Under Pure Food Law
Solicitor General Lloyd W. Bowers submits to President Taft a formal opinion on what constitutes whisky under the Pure Food Act. He argues that coloring or flavoring does not create whisky from non whisky, while harmless additives to existing whisky do not destroy its character if essential properties remain. He confirms that dilution with alcohol does not change the name whisky if by products remain and flavor endures, and that mixtures may bear the name when the public assigns it to a distinctive product.
