US Distilleries & Distilled Spirits Plants
U.S. Location Dataset // 6,525

6,525 distilled spirits plants in the United States, built from the federal permit register and cross-matched against a craft distillery directory, with a street address on 99.6% of records and coordinates on 32%. A federal permit covers everything from a two-person craft operation to industrial alcohol producers, bottlers and rectifiers, which is why the permit count is well above the roughly 2,700 craft distilleries the industry counts. The onDistilleryTrail flag marks the craft-shaped subset and returns 2,108, right in line with that figure, so you can work with either the full permitted universe or the consumer-facing craft segment. Barrel, still, bottle, closure and label suppliers, distributors, tasting-room and hospitality vendors, and anyone tracking the craft spirits boom use this. Kentucky's 306 plants and the concentration in California, New York and Texas show where the industry actually sits.

All 6,525 records, as published — the complete set rather than a sample. That matters most for coverage and gap questions: put together the same list from partial searches and every location you miss reads as a gap that is not there, so the answer is wrong rather than merely late. Assembling the U.S.-wide coverage by hand also means one query per area against sources that cap what they return per search.
