When a guide is updated, differences in listed distilleries, planned openings, ownership, tour formats, maps, and visitor institutions preserve a dated record of how the industry and its public interpretation changed.
Unchanged wording can reflect editorial reuse rather than continuous real-world verification, so absence of a revision is not proof that nothing changed.
Do not overwrite older editions merely because a newer one exists. Link editions, identify their observation dates, and extract changed claims as evidence for timelines of growth, closure, redevelopment, and heritage interpretation.
Created to preserve the 2016 second edition of Kentucky Bourbon Country separately from the already processed 2020 third edition.
A Zettel is one durable idea in your own words—not a quotation, source summary, or draft-book claim.
Atomic idea
When a guide is updated, differences in listed distilleries, planned openings, ownership, tour formats, maps, and visitor institutions preserve a dated record of how the industry and its public interpretation changed.
Reasoning
Do not overwrite older editions merely because a newer one exists. Link editions, identify their observation dates, and extract changed claims as evidence for timelines of growth, closure, redevelopment, and heritage interpretation.
Unchanged wording can reflect editorial reuse rather than continuous real-world verification, so absence of a revision is not proof that nothing changed.
Provenance
Connect one or more Literature Notes. Direct source relations are legacy-only; trace evidence through the literature-note and excerpt chain.
Connections
Apply approved Tags for retrieval and one or more Themes only when the note genuinely advances those interpretive threads.
Maturity checklist
Kentucky Bourbon Country (2016) — source contribution audit
PDF19 explicitly describes observations spanning six years. PDF46–52 distinguishes proposed Old Forester and Fort Nelson redevelopment from operating Shively production; PDF268 gives future Peerless release dates. Preserve this edition as a historical observation set alongside 2020, but do not interpret publication-year differences as exact operational change dates. Repeated text and repeated errors across editions are not independent corroboration.
Locators refer to the 320-sheet second-edition PDF. Existing other-source contributions, relations and maturity are retained. Proposed Academy applications remain internal.
