Analytical note
Core summary
A compact legal-history survey traces bourbon through federal identity standards, excise taxation, the Whiskey Rebellion, Prohibition, bonded whiskey, trade recognition, and trademarks.
Author argument
Bourbon’s modern identity is institutional: law shaped production, taxation, market trust, geographic distinctiveness, and the protection of brand signals.
Evidence assessment
Federal regulations, statutes, resolutions, treaties, cases, and secondary histories, presented as an accessible overview.
Researcher synthesis
Use the article as a route map, then cite the underlying current regulation, statute, treaty, or opinion for publication. Legal milestones belong inside production and cultural history, not in a detached appendix.
Limitations
Published in 2015; former CFR numbering; humorous asides; traditional origin claims; not current legal advice.
Open questions
Which cited rules have been renumbered, amended, or superseded? How did each legal intervention change ordinary production and market behavior?
