Part Three — Michter's Distillery
Fresh full supplied-ebook reading and image audit September29. PDF sheets 204–206. PDF204–206 describes sourced, contract and own-production phases, which overlap in aged stocks. Do not infer every bottle was house distilled after plant opening. PDF209 elsewhere misattributes Michter's to Heaven Hill; that statement is not evidence for ownership.
Capture evidence faithfully. Select one Source, record a usable locator, and preserve enough surrounding context to prevent misquotation.

Location and context
Record Locator Type, Locator Start, Locator End when needed, and Source Section. Explain the surrounding argument in Context.
