Do not infer origins from a printed appearance or a remembered encounter. Abbey's 1930-to 2002 interval is 72 years, not more than 80. Jackson/Old Hickory is explicitly unsubstantiated; Seelbach rediscovery, Vieux Carre and other firsts remain verification leads. Pisco and trademark descriptions are not legal definitions.
Complete old-guard chapter; Bijou 195–196; Martinez 224–225; Old Hickory 231–232; Rob Roy 245–246; Seelbach 251–252.
Every older-cocktail entry was read. Several explicitly change proportions, modifiers or service: Bijou moves away from equal parts, Martinez versions reverse the gin/vermouth balance, and Rob Roy invites comparison of bitters. Whiskey appears across bourbon, rye, Canadian and Scotch recipes, not just titles tagged American.
