+===== Legacy & Impact =====
+  * **Taste-Over-Volume Mythos –** Although the stills were scrapped, stories of Mikulić’s obsessive quality control inspire outlaw micro-distillers and hobby chemists across the Belt.
+  * **Ceramic Craze –** Empty wax-sealed flasks became prized heirlooms; in Hope it is still fashionable to display one on the family altar as a symbol of “lost refinement.”
+  * **Black-Market Icon –** Since 2631 every surviving bottle is contraband. A single intact flask of Slivovitz or Krupnik can trade for 5–8 × its original price and occasionally sparks thefts from private collections.
+  * **Federal Recipe Blueprint –** Internal memos from the Federal Beverages Manufactory reveal that today’s “Standard Celebration Spirit” copies Mikulić’s nano-honey–spice profile — proof that, even in dismantling the brand, the Confederation couldn’t ignore its superior flavour.
+===== Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters =====
+  * **Rare Spirits, Rare Trouble —** use Mikulić bottles as high-value barter, forgery targets, or diplomatic gifts.
+  * **Poisoned Batch Panic —** counterfeit Krupnik causes illness; trace sabotage to rival smugglers
