Description
The roots of American distilleries and brands are deeply convoluted and complex. Distilleries fold, are restarted; brands change hands often. Here is an attempt to catalogue those shifts over the last 250 years. Brands (in green) represent roughly their size within the market. The width of each root correlates to the productivity of each distillery under each owner. Much of the data here is lost; much of this is a guess based on advertising, contemporary narratives, and research on the distilleries themselves.
