Written reading complete. Original HTML is preserved in the Wikipedia package linked from the Source record. Remote images, remaining primary corroboration and presentation remain pending.

Source argument

Brand narrative combines the hunting-name story, sourcing and ownership transitions with modern distillery growth.

Evidence map

LINK-206, revision 1370894127, numbered extraction lines 1–73 read, including references and tables where present. Citation entries are not verification of cited works.

1940 hunting lore differs from 1942 bottling; 1891 site, 1949 ownership, 1971 acquisition, 1980 Pernod, 2009 Campari, 2011 plant and 2013 bottling are separate. Line 22's 55% distillation, rotation and one-third-loss language comes from 1995, not current proof. The claimed 2012 award cites older material; 101 Single Barrel is not standard 101. DISCUS advertising ethics are not legislation.

Researcher synthesis

Track transition from purchased whiskey to distillery ownership. Leave Wild Turkey 101 profile and pilot unchanged until first-party expression-specific verification.
