Distilleries

Establishments in the NAICS 312140 industry primarily engage in distilling potable liquors, such as whiskey, vodka, rum, gin, and other spirits. The core activity involves the fermentation and distillation of grains, fruits, or other agricultural products to produce alcoholic beverages with a high alcohol content. This industry is distinguished from related industries by its focus on the production of distilled spirits, as opposed to brewing beer or fermenting wine, which are classified under different NAICS codes.
