The list is direct evidence against a static ‘six Kentucky distilleries’ formulation. It includes eleven named entities in Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Maryland connections.
Doran identifies these entities as concentration warehousemen that were distillers or successors to distillers and had received manufacturing allotments. The rye or bourbon labels describe customary production, not permit limits.
“The Frankfort Distilling Co., Louisville, Ky., bourbon; A. Ph. Stitzel, Louisville, Ky., bourbon; the G. Lee Redmon Co., Louisville, Ky., bourbon; the American Medicinal Spirits Co., Louisville, Ky., and Baltimore, Md., rye and bourbon; the George T. Stagg Co., Frankfort, Ky., bourbon; the Glenmore Distilling Co., Owensboro, Ky., bourbon; James E. Pepper & Co., Lexington, Ky., bourbon; the Large Distilling Co., West Elizabeth, Pa., rye; A. Overholt & Co., Broad Ford, Pa., rye; Joseph S. Finch & Co., Schenley, Pa., rye and bourbon; the Dougherty Distillery Warehouse Co., Philadelphia, Pa., rye.”
