Quarantine as a record of Schmid’s account. Do not promote these passages into an established timeline or current labeling guidance. The steak/dog/quart-of-bourbon breakfast passage is explicitly a joke. Endnotes are secondary trails, not verification of these claims.
Beverages — historical introduction
The introduction discusses whisky/whiskey spellings, Elijah Craig’s 1789 origin legend, bourbon’s name, the Whiskey Rebellion, Prohibition, and production requirements. It explicitly acknowledges an unknown inventor, but also equates the Eighteenth Amendment with the Volstead Act, presents a post-Rebellion sixty-acre land-grant narrative, and uses broad claims about grain geography and comparative whiskey quality.
