Source argument
A short tertiary overview of grain-defined whiskey and selected product examples, rather than a comprehensive historical or scientific account.
Evidence map
All 32 lines of 186-reading.txt read, including references and caption. Embedded image pixels reviewed; small marginal text remains untranscribed as specified below.
Lines 1–4: the 1864 Simon Crow label caption is a historical lead, not a verified patent, first-production date or evidence of invention. Inspect the original image/document before deriving history. US wheat whiskey and wheated bourbon are distinct types; using wheat as a secondary grain does not turn bourbon into wheat whiskey. The article's two-year straight summary omits other requirements; the current regulation also specifies distillation, barrel entry, storage and additive conditions.
Lines 2–15: the 2022 handful-of-brands assertion and named products are dated, not a verified current catalog. Brand renaming, specific expressions and actual producers need checking. German examples cannot be assigned the US standard automatically. Eight references were read as entries only; producer sites, reviews and an archived 2008 regulation citation are not complete-source reviews.

Source-content closeout — September 12, 2026
All 32 extracted lines reread, including references and navigation. The single embedded article illustration has now been visually reviewed at the supplied resolution. The embedded Simon Crow label derivative shows a pastoral scene and the product name Pure White Wheat Whiskey. Tiny marginal manuscript and footer text cannot be reliably transcribed at this resolution. The 1864 patent date is caption attribution, not independently established by this image; no invention or first-production claim is cleared.
The original HTML is preserved in the existing Wikipedia archive; the illustration and hash manifest are now preserved in the additional three-article media package on No access. This supersedes earlier image/native-archive-pending statements for this captured article. Site icons are not research figures. Referenced outside works, underlying claim verification and browser presentation remain separate; no public-use image rights clearance is implied.
Assessment
Written review complete; short, dated stub with limited coverage. Native archive and embedded image checked; browser layout remains unchecked. The regulation check corrects specific definitions, not every assertion.

Archived revision 1353574525; supporting 27 CFR 5.143, full displayed text read for this check. Cited third-party works are not claimed as fully reviewed.
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.
