Assessment
108 and 116 differ by eight proof points, although later prose says ten. Evaporation rates are reported estimates; raw chemical data and controlled, blind, proof-normalized replicated tasting are not supplied.
Resolve bottle-proof mismatch with producer labels before using specifications. Do not import these ratios as validated optimal recipes.
