"My wife was looking for hand sanitizer and a little bit in a panic, and then my son said to me, ‘can't we make that at the distillery?’ and I was like, yeah we probably could, so we looked into it and it’s not really a difficult process,” says founder and CEO of the distillery Tim Koether.
The distillery is also trying to get the sanitizer to be delivered.
