General-culture publication with a drinks beat; catalogue portal, not a citable tasting corpus.
Purpose and boundary
Use Paste for large comparative tastings, consumer-oriented whiskey features, rankings, and cultural commentary when a specific piece adds relevant perspective.
Evidence rule
Create a Source for the exact article. Record lineup, bottle versions, panel or author, blind or non-blind method, price criteria, publication date, and any supplied-product disclosure. Verify factual statements outside the tasting independently.
Review
- Paste covers many cultural subjects; drinks is one editorial beat.
- Comparative tastings may be unusually broad, but their conclusions remain conditioned by the selected lineup and method.
- Scores and ranks are article-specific opinion, not a universal hierarchy.
