can be displayed in a smaller supporting list or omitted from the front-end if space is limited. • Organize Block 2 by publication, with each article title linking directly to the original article. • Publication logos may be used in place of publication-name text if approved assets are available. • Where an article is paywalled, retain the original publication link rather than substituting an aggregator. RESEARCH NOTE This list includes substantive editorial features, reviews, profiles, rankings and industry coverage found in research under both “Maverick Whiskey” and “Maverick Distilling.” Incidental event-calendar listings, directory pages, retailer listings and brief passing mentions were excluded so the website press archive remains useful and credible.
