The chapter distinguishes ownership, warehouses, distribution authority, and production permits across changing Prohibition rules.
The medicinal-whiskey system involved hundreds of bonded warehouses before concentration, then a smaller set of production permits. Hannush reports that the first six 1929 permits covered three Kentucky and three Pennsylvania facilities and that authorizations later changed and expanded, contradicting the familiar story of six fixed Kentucky distilleries.
