Hey @SingleMaltYinzer, i know this isn't what you had in mind but I found this in Whiskey, Brandy, and Cordials and thought you'd dig this...
It's their rapid aging idea from 1918, I honestly don't know what kind of effects it would have on a spirit aging wise, but it's basically just a big Fischer esterification still.

Hell yeah Newark NJ.
Hold on, Hirsch designed the 3 chamber too?
By the way, you can run that esterification still under vacuum and significantly reduce the thermal degradation of the spirit.
@Bolverk, do you have that actual peice of literature?
If so, what does the paragraph below entail?

@Smaug Yeah
With the understanding that this is much more of a reactor, I wonder how or why he arrived at such a narrow aperture leading into the HX?

That narrow piece does seem like a major design flaw.
Does that piece under the condenser (e) look like a big bubble cap to you?
I don't think it is.

Don't think it's a flaw or that its not a bubble cap?
Not only the narrow inlet, but the bulbous area above the condenser.
Feels intentional.
The bulbous bit at the top makes sense, but that narrow tube below the condenser you think that intentional? What would be its purpose?
