Home Distillation

Home alcohol distillation is only legal in some countries. Others require licensing in order to legally distill alcohol. In the United States, those wishing to distill alcohol must contact their local BATF office to obtain an appropriate licensing prior to performing home distillation. It is the sole responsibility of the distiller to know and abide by all applicable laws.
