These are printed and laminated mats; do you think they were made up specially for the Filson tasting, or could B-F have a stock of whiskeys from those years that they're using for all their regular tastings?

These days it's easy enough to print something like that in small quantities on an office ink jet or color laser, then have it laminated, and make something that looks manufactured, but was made overnight for a specific event.
