Supports comparative tasting as structured exploration while separating pairing performance from bottle quality and treating classification as a prompt rather than an answer key.
A transparent but informal 2014 practitioner tasting exercise. It is not blind, controlled, or current bottle-market evidence, and its scores should not be generalized beyond the tested products and conditions.
Broom compares mixers at two ratios with ice, scores the resulting combinations rather than the whiskeys themselves, groups whiskeys into flavor camps as a heuristic, and explicitly invites readers to test the combinations and find their own preferences.
