Source argument and evidence map
The article combines an 1897 origin narrative with present labeling requirements and consumer-quality interpretations. Its historical adulteration and lobbying discussion carries weak-sourcing flags. Separate tax administration, legal identity, and sensory merit; compliance does not demonstrate superior flavor. Verify Taylor/Carlisle lobbying and tax-timing claims in original records.
Researcher synthesis
Current-rule cross-check: 27 CFR 5.88, read in full, includes qualifying imports under subsection (b). It also specifies same kind/material class, same season/distiller/distillery, four-year wood-storage requirements with gin/vodka exceptions, restricted alteration, 100 proof, and domestic plant identification. Do not present the article's American-only framing or its simplified warehouse account as the exhaustive current rule.
Assessment
The article's own cited bibliography was read as a bibliography, not as full text of those works. Reuse stronger existing evidence where available and preserve discrepancies. No new quotation or durable factual claim created.

Preservation reconciliation — September 8, 2026
The original HTML snapshot is now included in the native Wikipedia-Captures-173-218.zip package on No access. Earlier preservation-pending language is superseded for that HTML only. Local original hashes and ZIP integrity were checked; native attachment presence was refetched. Remote images/assets were not bundled and a new cloud-byte comparison was not performed. Written-source reading does not establish that every cited work or illustration was reviewed. Other source-specific holds remain unchanged.
