Historical trade-manual evidence. Preserve authorial attribution; not a present-day process.
His distinctions are historically specific and not current legal definitions. His later adulteration chapter uses the categories less consistently. The proposed friction-based explanation of mixture behavior is not accepted here as chemistry.
Monzert introduces blending as mixing materials of the same general nature, including old and new whiskey. He distinguishes it from dilution presented as fictitious strength and from assembling compounds using other ingredients. He also emphasizes skill and warns that compatible ingredients are necessary and that separating and recombining constituents does not simply recreate a fine liquor.
