+# 🥃 WhiskyDB — Fine Spirits & Whisky Dataset (Free Sample)
+
+A **free sample** of WhiskyDB: a structured, relational dataset of whiskies and fine spirits built **entirely from open, legally accessible public sources** — government label registries (US TTB COLA), corporate registries (UK Companies House), the EU eAmbrosia GI register, Open Food Facts, Wikipedia/Wikidata, and open auction statistics — with a **provenance ledger entry behind every record**.
+
+**This sample contains 15 spirits + 15 distilleries**, plus the **fully open cask & flavor taxonomies** (14 cask styles, 15 flavor descriptors).
+
+The **full dataset covers 1,290+ spirits, 3,200+ distilleries & producers across 110+ countries, 270+ protected GI appellations, and 20,000+ monthly auction-price benchmarks (Nov 2005 → today)** — the auction index is the differentiated part: 225 consecutive months of distillery-level mean winning bids, ideal for valuation models and price-vs-age studies.
