CYDER-Spirit, a spirituous liquor drawn from cyder by distillation, in the same manner as brandy from wine. The particular flavour of this spirit is not the most agreeable, but it may with care be divested wholly of it, and rendered a perfectly pure and insipid spirit upon rectification. The traders in spirituous liquors are well enough acquainted with the value of such a spirit as this: they can give it the flavour of some other kinds, and sell it under their names, or mix it in large proportion with the foreign brandy, rum and arrack, in the sale, without any danger of a discovery of the cheat.
