Source argument
Kentucky’s vintage-spirits market allows historic medicinal whiskey bottles to re-enter licensed retail channels.
Evidence map
Researcher synthesis
Retrieve by individual bottle, distillery and documented year rather than one generic Prohibition label. Separate distillation, bottling, concentration and sale dates.
Assessment
Historical prices are not current valuations. Typographic footnote markers must not become five-digit years. Bottle-dating heuristics and a blanket non-degradation claim require independent checks. Label images and the map have not yet been visually examined.
Read bottle labels and Sanborn image; verify 2017 HB100 provisions from the statute before legal exposition. Retain the Canadian rye’s jurisdictional context.
Completion checklist
Illustration review and remaining media hold
Visual review, September 6, 2026: preserved and inspected all three bottle photographs, the prescription/bottle composite, J.P. Wiser’s historical still photograph and the Wigglesworth site map. Old Hickory label identifies Eastern Rye and Wiser’s; Old Jim Gore visibly identifies Kentucky bourbon, bottled in bond and 100 proof; Poindexter identifies Old Bourbon, Harrison County and one pint. The photographs do not legibly verify every production/bottling date. Map identifies Kentucky 6th District, registered distillery No. 10, multiple bonded warehouses, distillery, cattle shed/slop pipe and Poindexter/Cynthiana Pike. Small labels are not fully legible; numeric capacities are not independently confirmed from this reproduction. The historical Wiser photograph is not a book cover. Embedded J.P. Wiser’s history video (YouTube pK9vFVON1RM, 2:10) has no available transcript and remains unreviewed. Source remains Partial Source / Needs Review; all written article text and endnotes already read.
