Donner-Peltier Distillers is a new distillery based out of Thibodaux, which will start making vodka from local long-grain rice and rum from local sugar sometime soon. One hurdle has been bureaucratic: "Because the distilling industry is relatively small in Louisiana, prospective distillers have to scrutinize archaic legislation enacted post-Prohibition, said Jason Sanner, lead distiller at Donner-Peltier Distillers."
