Hours, ownership, laws, bottle sales, tour formats, reservation rules, and venue status change quickly, so travel information requires access dates and periodic reverification.
Historic site descriptions and photographs can remain useful after operations change.

Atomic idea
Hours, ownership, laws, bottle sales, tour formats, reservation rules, and venue status change quickly, so travel information requires access dates and periodic reverification.
Reasoning
The website should model operational facts as time-stamped fields rather than timeless prose and display a visible last-verified date.
Historic site descriptions and photographs can remain useful after operations change.
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
Hannush's Kentucky guide — 2020 edition
Printed pp. 43–44 and 69–71 (PDF 45–46, 71–73) distinguish tour start times, variable experience offerings and visitor scheduling. These are dated directory observations; no 2020 venue detail is promoted as current.
Located literature note and edition boundaries
The later national guide is by the same author; shared material is not independent corroboration. Existing maturity and prior evidence retained.
Kentucky Bourbon Country (2020) — full-reading audit
PDF sheet 22 identifies a six-year observation period; directory entries at 77–85 and 273–276 combine practical travel fields with recommendations and dated restrictions. Record edition, observation date when known, and separate last-verification dates for hours, access, products and rules. Historic photographs can remain interpretively useful while operational details become stale; publication year alone does not verify every listed fact.
Existing maturity and other-source contributions retained. Locators refer to the 317-sheet supplied PDF; proposed applications remain internal.
Kentucky Bourbon Country (2016) — source contribution audit
PDF17–19 notes seasonal shutdown and a six-year observation period. PDF46–52,185–188 and268 distinguish planned projects and release dates from operations. Directory and retail information at71–79 and279–286 needs its own current verification. Edition date, observation date and last operational check are separate fields; this guide supplies historical context.
Locators refer to the 320-sheet second-edition PDF. Existing other-source contributions, relations and maturity are retained. Proposed Academy applications remain internal.
From Barley to Blarney — fresh supplied-copy contribution
The explicitly dated 2017 tour map (23), Slane under construction (82), projected Dublin operations before 2020 (205), and unreleased Echlinville spirit (600) show why observation, publication and last operational check need separate dates. Retain these as period observations; no current venue facts were verified in this review.
Located evidence:
Locators refer to the 744-screen supplied PDF. All supplied screens were read and visually inspected; the index is truncated and browser verification remains open. Existing atomic statement, maturity, relationships and other-source contributions are retained. Proposed Academy applications remain internal.
