Chapter 5 — Packaged whiskey
2026-09-29: fresh supplied-copy review covered all 320 sheets and 87 enlarged visuals. This entry is checked for fidelity to the cited passage, not independent truth. Copy lacks at least endnotes 39–56; earlier complete-source wording is superseded. Identity protection is plausible; do not turn Old Forester branding into a universal first-bottled-whiskey claim.
