in glass, while it is universally admitted that aging in wood 
is highly beneficial with most liquors. 
An investigation of this question with reference to Philippine 
palm brandies was begun about a year ago. The first samples 
which were put in storage were prepared before the experi- 
mental work, previously described, was completed, so that the 
prescribed methods of distillation were not followed, and ac- 
curate data regarding them are not available. 
From now on, the Bureau of Internal Revenue proposes to 
put one barrel of nipa and one barrel of coco palm brandy, 
made by prescribed methods, in storage every six months. 
Analyses of these products will be made at the time of storage 
and every six months thereafter. 
The data so far available are as follows:
