Evidence map
Researcher synthesis
A dated individual critical judgment and product-discovery index, not consensus scoring, sensory profiles or a purchasing-price database. Preserve exact batch identity for any future profile matching.
Assessment
No tasting notes for most entries. Linked January 15 criteria page was also read: selection draws on personal excitement, prior tastings and high ASCOT scores; single barrels knowingly excluded. The ranked and unranked pages disagree on several proofs/prices, including Jack Daniel’s 10, Calumet 15, Clyde May’s and Normandie. Linked live video not analyzed; no claim of independently auditing the blind procedure.
Verify exact bottle labels before importing specifications; retain rank as attributed 2025 judgment. Criteria page URL and preservation SUPP-057 recorded; video is a distinct unreviewed item.
