Abstract: A method for flavoring an alcoholic beverage includes providing a container. The interior volume of the container is at least partially filled via the inlet tubing of the container with a distilled alcoholic beverage. At least one flavoring agent is positioned in each of the at least one retaining device of the container. The at least one flavoring agent is at least partially suspended in the distilled alcoholic beverage via the at least one retaining device. A flavored alcoholic beverage is removed from the container via an outlet tubing of the container, where the flavor characteristics of the flavored alcoholic beverage are substantially similar to an old aged bourbon or whiskey.

Abstract: A system for regulating an environment of an alcoholic beverage includes a container having a body encompassing a sealable chamber for housing the alcoholic beverage and a lid section removably affixable to the body. The system also includes at least one flavoring agent at least partially suspended in the alcoholic beverage. Pressure and temperature sensors are positioned along an interior surface area of the container and are exposed to the sealable chamber. The sensors are configured to determine voltage signals indicative of a pressure. A control apparatus is in communication with the sensors, where control apparatus is operable to receive the voltage signals, receive a setpoint signal indicative of a desired pressure setpoint and/or a desired temperature setpoint, and control a pressure regulation signal and or a temperature regulation signal such that each of pressure voltage signals match a received setpoint signal.

Abstract: A method of training a machine learning model for evaluating flavor profiles of an alcoholic beverage includes a spectral sensor collecting optical properties of the beverage or flavoring agent suspended in the beverage within a container. Temperature and pressure sensors collect environment data of the container during a flavoring session. A control apparatus displays a user interface requesting a taste tester to select labels for the session. A control apparatus memory stores selected labels responsive to the taste tester's selections. A feature extraction module extracts features from the optical properties and environment data based on predetermined criteria. A machine learning engine trains a machine learning model to continuously learn flavor characteristics under a plurality of flavoring sessions using the extracted features and selected labels.

Abstract: A container for flavoring an alcoholic beverage includes a body having an interior volume. The body includes a bottom section, a sidewall disposed about a perimeter of the bottom section, and a lid section affixed to the sidewall. The container also includes at least one retaining device positioned within the interior volume of the container. Each of the at least one retaining device is configured to retain at least one flavoring agent for suspension of the at least one flavoring agent in the alcoholic beverage when the container is at least partially filled with the alcoholic beverage.

Abstract: A chiller galley cart includes a plurality of walls defining an interior cavity, a supply valve defined in one wall of the plurality of walls, and a return valve defined in one wall of the plurality of walls. The supply valve and the return valve are configured to couple to a chiller positioned in the interior cavity to provide cooled airflow from the chiller galley cart. A method for cooling a demand galley cart positioned in a cart compartment of a galley includes positioning a chiller galley cart in the cart compartment having a chiller positioned in the interior cavity coupled to the supply valve and the return valve and coupling the supply valve to a supply port of the galley and coupling the return valve to a return port of the galley.
