Recreating a flavor target does not require recreating its original recipe.
This is an attributed historical case; similarity judgments are not proof of chemical identity or blinded sensory equivalence.
Peat describes Paterson iterating with available mature malts, assigning floral contributions and other roles while pursuing the recovered whisky’s profile. The account describes 25 component whiskies, rather than direct reproduction of the original inputs.
