[originaltext] The United States has a long history of making whiskey-a kind

The United States has a long history of making whiskey-a kind of alcohol. Many people across the country made the drink before the age of Prohibition. Prohibition was a 13-year period in the early 20th century when the government banned people from producing and selling alcoholic drinks. The government ended Prohibition in the early 1930s.
    Now, over 80 years later, the state of New York has made it legal for small distillers not only to operate, but also to sell their whiskey and have tasting rooms. Mr. Katz’s New York Distilling Company is one of more than 30 manufacturers in the state. Another business, Breuckelen Distilling, works with local farmers to create a regional flavor-a taste found only in the New York area. It and other companies operate under a specialty Farmer’s Distillery License. The license requires at least 71 percent of local grains in the products they make.
