History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 312140-01 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The distilling industry has a long and rich history dating back to ancient times. The first recorded distillation process was in Mesopotamia around 3500 BC, where they distilled perfumes and aromatics. The first alcoholic beverage to be distilled was in the 12th century by the Arabs, who distilled wine to make spirits. In the 16th century, the distillation process was introduced to Europe, and the first distillery was established in Scotland in the early 18th century. In the United States, the distilling industry began in the late 18th century, with the production of whiskey. During the Prohibition era, the industry suffered a significant setback, but it rebounded in the 1930s with the repeal of the 18th Amendment. Since then, the industry has continued to grow and evolve, with new technologies and techniques being developed to improve the quality and efficiency of the distilling process.
