Keep each business model tied to its specific producer example and 2021 date.
Martini's 2021 survey documents a Texas whiskey system that included distillers, blending houses using multi-origin components, transparent independent bottling, and brands using disclosed sourced spirit while developing house production.
Verified against the complete edition at displayed pages 218–225, 296–298, and 433.
This is a 2021 snapshot of named business models, not a current census, a claim that every producer disclosed equally, or proof that every staged transition reached house production.
Three separately documented cases establish that regional whiskey authorship was distributed among production, sourcing, blending, bottling, and brand-development roles.
Created for the evidence-controlled Texas regional history dossier.
Evidence boundary
The Claim describes the business-model diversity recorded in a 2021 secondary source. Current producer roles, portfolios, ownership, and disclosure practices require a new check.
