Source argument

A pre-existing premium product and distinctive packaging became especially attractive as bourbon collecting and online communities expanded.

Researcher synthesis

Separate brand ownership, plant ownership and production contracts. The demand narrative is a plausible synthesis, not a causal sales study. Retain lore and marketed firstness as such.

Assessment

Export-only-at-launch claim, first commercially sold wording, Warehouse H date and ownership chronology require primary corroboration. Its 1983 acquisition paragraph includes a brand it dates to 1984; chronology needs disentangling. 700/750 mL as export/US identity is not timeless. General Seneca/JFK attributions and Bourdain quotations not authenticated for reuse.

Check contemporary launch records and exact editions; do not publish price-history causation or lore as established solely from this feature.
