The years of Prohibition still have an effect on American culture, from illicit cocktails that became popular around this time to the sport of NASCAR racing that came from bootleggers running moonshine. And within the spirits industry, the period is still remembered for both the limitations suddenly placed on the production of liquor and the boom of products that came once it was repealed.
