Operationalizes a provenance rule for all historical whiskey recipes and prevents present-day canonical assumptions from overwriting primary wording.
Regional default is an inference. Preserve the source's explicit ingredient wording and keep bourbon examples visible.
Wondrich reports that many early Manhattan recipes specified only whiskey; a minority named a type, including two bourbon formulas. Northeast context makes rye plausible in many cases but does not justify silently changing generic whiskey to rye.

Fresh audit 2026-10-01: PDF 301–311 (especially 308) checked within complete 419-page body and individual visual reading. Generic whiskey remains generic. Counts in the author's selected recipe corpus are not market-share estimates. Earlier audit statements are superseded by this bounded source check.
This evidence record was created after the source's complete textual and sequential visual review.
Evidence
The evidence, evidence type, precise PDF-sheet locator, source section, and canonical Source are recorded in properties. The text is a faithful paraphrase or explicitly labeled source claim rather than an unlocated quotation.
Location and context
Context preserves documentary uncertainty, distinguishes historical evidence from modern reconstruction, and prevents first-known print from being treated as proof of invention.
Annotation
The annotation explains the record's role in the knowledge web. Approved Tags, Literature Note, Claims, and reusable Citation relations provide retrieval and traceability.
