Preserves the American-specific result without promoting it to a general claim; useful for designing a contemporary replication with current bottlings.
Subjective, brand-specific results from a dated nonblind tasting. This is evidence of Broom's comparative method and hypotheses for retesting, not a universal pairing rule or current product recommendation.
In Broom's 2014 American-whiskey mixer trial, ginger was the most consistent partner across the tested bourbons and Tennessee whiskeys, but results varied with sweetness, oak, rye intensity, and the individual brand; he concludes that brand flavor matters more than a simple category rule.
