Bibliography checked against PDF3,287 and expanded afterword. Ready to cite this source as attributed evidence, not independent validation or confirmation of an underlying historical document. PDF locators, not reader or original-print pagination. Do not confuse 118–120 distillation proof with a verified barrel-entry figure. Rotation and window practices belong to this remembered operation. The account's simple heat-expansion explanation and exclusivity claims need technical corroboration; barrel photographs do not prove every numerical or sensory assertion.
