Whiskey Knowledge Library / Literature Notes
Main contribution
Practitioners describe designing for an occasion, a target audience, inventory, and a house style. An assertive or unbalanced component on its own can still contribute usefully in a small proportion. Failed finishing experiments show that longer contact is not automatically better.
Evidence and limitations
Reported triangle testing is a discrimination tool, not proof of equivalence when no difference is detected. The article supplies no sample-size or power analysis. Its examples are professional accounts rather than controlled experiments. This web edition is associated with the already catalogued Fall 2023 issue and must not count as separate corroboration.
Application to the academy
Make the blending brief explicit before trials: desired profile, use, available components, and constraints. Test small increments, keep rejected formulas, and set a stopping criterion.
Scope and locator status
This note covers the supplied web capture, not an entire magazine issue. Use the article title and section headings for public citation; PDF sequence is an internal retrieval aid, not a printed page number. Sticky navigation obscures some lines in the capture, so final coverage verification remains open. Full PDF text and attachments remain private.
Final file QA — 2026-09-20
- All 11 supplied pages open, extract, and render.
- No inaccessible or blank source page was found.
- Triangle-testing descriptions are transcribed as reported, but absent sample-size and power information still prevents treating the article as a controlled sensory result.
