Measured center-out comparison retained. Sensory cuts do not assay chemical contaminants; use comparable conditions and separate clean evaluation samples.
The method follows fraction collection and precedes longer-term aging and final blending.
Hyde recommends evaluating labeled fractions and building the usable cut outward from the cleaner center in measured increments, recording what is added rather than relying on an unrepeatable one-time judgment.

Research annotation
This procedure turns cut selection into a documented blending experiment and makes later comparison possible.
