A venue can teach a whiskey category through its floor plan, dedicated rooms, staff program, tasting sequence, visual interpretation, and guest circulation—not only through written explanation.
The Dead Rabbit figure is one taproom plan, not a multi-level academy plan. Category education remains a design hypothesis; American-whiskey cases and evidence of learner outcomes are still needed.
Meehan's PDF65–68 documents a taproom floor plan, service stations, merchandise, historical imagery and connections to other floors. These suggest questions for designing learning spaces; they do not demonstrate an Irish Whiskey Academy or measured educational outcomes.

From Barley to Blarney — fresh supplied-copy contribution
Teeling's tour-to-bar sequence (221) provides an additional Irish example of moving guests from equipment to comparative tasting. It supports a design hypothesis about learning through circulation, not a demonstrated educational effect. The American-case gap stated in this note remains open.
