Supporting resources are discovery and retrieval portals. They are not evidence by default.
Purpose and boundary
Use The Spirits Business American Whiskey Masters archive for annual competition results, award roundups, product profiles, and related trade reporting. Competition evidence and editorial reporting remain separate.
Evidence rule
Create a discrete Source for every annual results page or trade article used and relate it under Related Sources. Do not cite this portal record directly.
