Since the coronavirus outbreak began, Three Roll Estate Distillery on St. Philip has stopped making rum and started producing hand sanitizer.
"The sanitizer that we produce is made from ethyl alcohol, which is just ethanol. So when we changed to hand sanitizer production, what we're doing is taking that same Louisiana molasses and producing a more sterile alcohol," head distiller JB Salem said.
