Useful as an example of provenance inference. The structure of the inference is more reliable than the resulting producer identification.
This is the article's central chain of reasoning. It combines product metadata and exclusion, then adds a second NDP attribution as corroborating support.
The authors infer that a 9.7-year 75/21/4 bourbon distilled in Bardstown was probably made at Barton because its age implies a 2013 distillation date, the brand representative said it was not Willett, and the authors identify Barton and Willett as the only Bardstown distilleries operating then.

Verified as a faithful account of the authors' reasoning, not as independent proof that Barton distilled the whiskey. Producer attribution remains provisional.
