Scope: The authors explicitly prioritize enjoyment over factual accuracy in cocktail storytelling. Their recurring tasting grid distinguishes dominant flavors, body, dryness, complexity, accent/contrast and finish, alongside glass choice. Garnishes are treated as functional sensory contributions.

Limits: Origin stories must remain attributed lore until corroborated. The grid is a useful vocabulary, not a validated measurement instrument. Published tasting notes are author judgments, not our own blind assessments or whiskey-profile scores.
