Distillery Output and Fees Stir a Tamperance Talk
Lincoln Journal notes a Kentucky distillery outputs 1,200 barrels daily or 62,400 yearly at an estimated $374,400 cost with wholesalers netting $1 to $2 per barrel. Government, licenses, and transport push the total taxes and fees to $24,761,878 while a final jab at domestic excess closes with a bleak domestic line. The piece also recalls Rostar’s first steam fire engine shown in Baltimore and includes scattered stray sermons and quips about Lent and salary timing.
