Use the table to complicate production geography, but label it as total distilled spirits and consult the underlying 1918 federal source before extracting state-specific figures.
The visual is a period table of total distilled spirits, not a whiskey-only state ranking.
A reproduced federal table for fiscal years 1916–1917 places major distilled-spirits production in industrial northern and midwestern states; the authors use it to challenge the assumption that Kentucky and Tennessee alone dominated historical production.
