2023 Q1 Spirited VA - 32

I
f you like variety in your spirits, U.S.
distilleries have you covered: American
Distilling Institute reported 2,230
active distilleries as of July 15, 2022,
making a variety of products. That's way
up from 75 active distilleries in 2006!
If you like to support locally owned
craft businesses, no problem! These
distilleries are scattered throughout
the states-even in Puerto Rico and
the U.S. Virgin Islands.
How about supporting minority-owned
distilleries that are BIPOC(Black,
Indigenous and People of Color)
owned and led?
Out of more than 2,000 distilleries,
about 40 are Black owned.
Despite a very small percentage
of the total number of active distilleries,
these Black-owned businesses
stand out by producing high-quality,
award-winning spirits worth stocking
in your home bar-including many
available through Virginia ABC stores.
Nearest Green, Early
Distilling Star
Black participation in producing alcohol
has a rich but often overlooked past.
Throughout U.S. history, African Americans
have held skilled and creative roles
in addition to providing manual labor.
In marking its 150th anniversary, the
Jack Daniel's distillery began illuminating
an important part of its founding
story. The revised version salutes Nathan
" Nearest " Green, the first known African
American distiller.
