Taft Rules Whisky Labels After Thorough Inquiry
President Taft has ruled on what constitutes whisky under the Pure Food act. Grain distillations may be labeled whisky with origin terms like bourbon or rye and aging statements. Rectified or neutral spirits must be labeled as whisky made from rectified or redistilled spirits, with aging notes if applicable. Blends must be described as a blend of straight whisky and neutral spirits. This reverses Roosevelt’s prior stance.
