The same recipe can yield different whiskey at a different distillery

Annotation

Direct independent support for the boundary that formulation is not finished identity. The passage is strongest as a reported producer observation; the specific causal explanation remains unresolved. Craig Beam reports his grandfather's observation. No blinded equivalence trial or isolated mechanism is supplied.
