Verification checklist
Fresh supplied-copy evidence audit
PDF 130, displayed 61: supports the book’s packaging-as-assurance narrative. Exclusively bottled bourbon is narrower than the first whiskey ever bottled; sealing is not complete provenance or an independent guarantee against all adulteration.
This excerpt was checked against the newly completed sequential text and visual review of the 571-screen supplied PDF (SHA256 f7b627c3dedd2ac73908bac5def6723630feeace626330086fcec53e830ab932). The locator is supported independently of whole-copy completeness. Use the supplied PDF screen number alongside the displayed page; retained partial-copy locators refer to a different file. Verification concerns fidelity to this source, not independent truth of its claims. Existing relationships and legacy provenance are preserved. API read-back is separate from browser rendering.
