Do not equate greater intensity automatically with better whiskey or require bottle aging as a quality criterion. Pleasant aromatic persistence differs from lingering heat or dryness. Beauty is subjective; typicity and the user's target fit remain separate judgments.
Full second-edition reading; locators are supplied PDF positions, not printed pagination.
TBLICA comprises typicity, balance, length, intensity, concentration and ageability, supplemented by complexity and beauty. Balance is relational; intensity and concentration are not simply body weight. Holding a profile differs from improving with age. Typicity is acknowledged as contested and exam-dependent.

Excerpt
TBLICA comprises typicity, balance, length, intensity, concentration and ageability, supplemented by complexity and beauty. Balance is relational; intensity and concentration are not simply body weight. Holding a profile differs from improving with age. Typicity is acknowledged as contested and exam-dependent.

Context and limitations
Do not equate greater intensity automatically with better whiskey or require bottle aging as a quality criterion. Pleasant aromatic persistence differs from lingering heat or dryness. Beauty is subjective; typicity and the user's target fit remain separate judgments.
Interpretation
Retain the source's personal and wine-specific context. Do not turn the observation into a fixed whiskey property, a tested blend formula or an unsourced causal claim.
