Historical trade-manual evidence. Preserve authorial attribution; not a present-day process.
The American-whiskey value is not a historical population average. Descriptions of deception are evidence of the manual's advice, not proof that all trade products were fraudulent. Hazardous imitation procedures are excluded from practical guidance.
A list compares alcoholic strengths across beverages, explicitly based on one brand of each kind. Subsequent advice assigns fruity, astringent, sweet and color contributions to ingredients, discusses masking defects and manufacturing an apparent bead, and frames skilled imitation as commercially effective.
