From California to Maine, Small US Distilleries Stepped Up to Make Hand Sanitizer in the Wake of Covid-19
MSNRecently opened in South Walton, Fla., Distillery 98 creates its spirits in a sustainable way, using local corn that’s filtered with Florida oysters, and then giving the spent grain mash to a nearby farm.
