Mixture interactions and operating conditions determine vapor–liquid separation, not pure-component boiling points alone.
Engineering models need empirical property parameters; this is not a quantitative prediction for a particular wash.
Relative volatility and azeotropes explain why a boiling-point sequence is an incomplete account of congener behavior. Apply the principle without inventing a whiskey-specific recovery curve.

Atomic idea
Mixture interactions and operating conditions determine vapor–liquid separation, not pure-component boiling points alone.
Reasoning
Relative volatility and azeotropes explain why a boiling-point sequence is an incomplete account of congener behavior. Apply the principle without inventing a whiskey-specific recovery curve.
Counterpoints
Engineering models need empirical property parameters; this is not a quantitative prediction for a particular wash.
Provenance and connections
Developing interpretation. Not established as an independently tested whiskey-specific claim.
