Source argument
Brand account stresses sealed-bottle marketing, continuity, ownership and release families.
Evidence map
LINK-210, revision 1358664932: full numbered extraction lines 1–64 reviewed, including written reference entries and any tables. These locators identify the reviewed snapshot, not the underlying cited publications.
First sold exclusively sealed differs from first bottled whiskey. Owens automation is later than 1870. Continuous marketing is not continuous distillation. Medicinal licenses require bottling/distilling distinctions. 2006 staffing and one bourbon mash do not establish current whole-brand production. 1902 blending is not automatically today's blended-whiskey category. Birthday Bourbon sweepstakes claims overextend one year; 117 Series is not one expression; 30% ABV concerns RTD, not straight bourbon.
No unverified direct quotations promoted. Detailed local critical checkpoint retained alongside the numbered reading file.
Researcher synthesis
Connect packaging and authenticity history without converting promotional firsts into established priority. Separate historical reviews from current bottles.
Assessment
Tertiary discovery evidence only. Preserve contradictory and time-dependent claims as open checks, not resolved facts. Images, native preservation and presentation pending. Source-reading completeness does not prove factual accuracy; no History/profile/trial changes.
