The pot/column proportion is explicitly the author’s belief, not a disclosed verified formula. The separate consumer suggestion combines the two Woodford malt releases, not Woodford bourbon plus an unspecified malt. No ratio or controlled trial is supplied. The14%wood-contact calculation is attributed to Morris; residual-sugar language is a tasting claim, not an assay. Proposed Academy use: compare intended component roles while keeping production blending distinct from the consumer malt-pair experiment.
