Identity

John Pogue is identified in the cited ISC article as a distiller at Old Pogue.

Authority summary

His relevance is first-person testimony that Old Pogue selected char #4 barrels to complement the rye-secondary-grain character of its own new make.

Evidence boundary

Treat this as one producer case, not a universal barrel-selection rule. Preserve the quote’s placement within an ISC promotional article and distinguish observed practice from causal generalization.
