John Little, CEO of Smooth Ambler DistilleryDistilleries across the country are now making hand sanitizer to help fight coronavirus. Anadolu AgencyHere’s a sentence I never thought I’d write in my career: Distilleries are making hand sanitizer. But if distillers make hand sanitizer, which is non-potable, they get to skip the fat check they write Uncle Sam every month. “The transition from alcohol production to hand sanitizer is fairly easy - we have the equipment and just needed a few supplies,” Little says. If the hand sanitizer sanitizer demand continues, it could cut into whiskey distillation.
