Do not count copied passages as independent confirmation of shared flavor or production origin. Preserve source wording, flag possible editorial reuse, and seek original tasting records before resolving attribution.
Third edition2024; supplied558-sheet canonical project PDF; this is a researcher comparison, not a direct quotation.
Both tasters' nose, taste and finish text repeats between Blanton's Single Barrel and Elmer T. Lee. Susan's complete three-part description also repeats between Old Elk Single Barrel and Trail's End. Banker's Club and Waitsburg descriptions largely repeat with a changed finish phrase.

Named product profiles: Mike/Susan nose, taste and finish
All six named page images inspected enlarged September28,2026. Verified means this textual duplication is present in the supplied source, not that the tasting claims are independently true.
Located evidence
The comparison concerns PDF186/195,442/517 and252/520. Matching text occurs in the printed page images, so it is not an extraction artifact. The book does not explain why these descriptions repeat. Their presence does not establish whether the whiskies taste alike or who made an editorial error.
Academy use
Teach the difference between a second record and independent evidence. Keep attribution and exact expression/batch; exclude these pairs from exercises intended to measure genuine taster agreement.
