Citation Summary

The authors argue that age or price alone does not determine suitability: an older, smoother rye may lack the assertiveness wanted in a sour. They organize development around sweet/dry balance, the base spirit, accent/contrast, body and finish, improving recipes through repeated preparation and feedback.

Scope: The authors argue that age or price alone does not determine suitability: an older, smoother rye may lack the assertiveness wanted in a sour. They organize development around sweet/dry balance, the base spirit, accent/contrast, body and finish, improving recipes through repeated preparation and feedback.

Limits: House practice and preference, not blinded experimental proof. Similar-profile substitutions are starting hypotheses; exact bottle, proof, modifiers and target still matter. Do not convert the example into a claim that older whiskey always mixes poorly.
