Journalistic retrospective, not exhaustive origins research. The Prohibition travel narrative and broad Scotch-versus-mezcal mixing claims need separate support if used historically. Salt and Ash is situated around 2009 here but dated 2010 in its recipe. Do not import this entire chronology into American-whiskey history.
