Historical trade-manual evidence. Preserve authorial attribution; not a present-day process.
Generalized claims about French imports and mixtures remain uncorroborated. His positive use of adulteration complicates the earlier taxonomy. His hollow-particle and friction explanations, prescribed rest duration, and mixture arithmetic are not validated mechanisms or blending rules.
Monzert links newly distilled spirit's harshness, the time required for maturation and producers' inability to wait with a market for compounders or rectifiers. He proposes that casks change aroma and astringency. He describes a sealed mixture whose volume declines without loss of weight, distinguishing that situation from simple evaporation.
