Attribute each technical example to its producer and citation.
Martini documents Texas producers designing separate whiskey components and blending them toward a target, including Ironroot's multiple mash bills and Balcones' separately distilled and matured grain recipes.
Verified against the complete edition at displayed pages 118 and 189.
These are named producer practices reported in 2021, not a universal Texas method. The source supports the production architecture; it does not independently validate every sensory or quality judgment.
The two examples independently show blending being designed upstream through differentiated component production rather than used only for end-stage consistency.
Created for the Texas regional history dossier and blending-method retrieval.
Evidence boundary
This is a bounded comparison of two documented producer systems. It supports the historical development of deliberate component design in Texas whiskey, not a statewide norm.
September29 source correction
Texas Whiskey PDF200's quoted four recipes include mixed-grain mash bills, unlike the narrator's single-grain simplification. Component design is supported; four pure-grain distillates are not. No final blend ratios are provided.
