Legacy Resource Category
Supporting resources are discovery and retrieval portals. They are not evidence by default.
Purpose and boundary
Use the American Distilling Institute portal for craft-distilling education, publications, conferences, webinars, directories, supplier information, networking, and competition records. Education, membership activity, promotion, and awards are separate evidence classes.
Evidence rule
Create a discrete Source for every educational article, webinar, conference session, directory entry, report, or competition result used and relate it under Related Sources. Do not cite this portal record directly.
Review
- Resource class: Craft-distilling trade organization, education platform, and competition operator
- Access verified: 2026-08-25; direct automated review is restricted, so the initial characterization also relies on an official ADI media document
- Institutional posture: Trade and member organization serving independently owned and small-batch distillers through education, networking, publications, events, and competition activity
- Volatility: Membership, directories, events, educational offerings, sponsors, competition fields, and results change
- Capture when promoted: Author or speaker, program, event or publication date, member or sponsor context, entry field, judging method, award year, stable URL, and access date
- Interpretive limit: Awards describe a particular competition and entrant field; association or member promotion is not neutral verification
- Review basis: ADI portal · Official 2025 media kit
