The early distilleries in Kentucky were of the most primitive type. They were built with logs in the cheapest possible way. No attempt was made at architectural display or perfection. No ornaments or decorations of any kind were ever thought of. No attention was paid to the style of the building, only so it would hold the grain and the still and protect them from the weather. Floors were usually of dirt or of split logs. The stills were made in the simplest kind of style, and in fact with the most simple arrangements that would produce the results. There is little difference between the old still of Kentucky and the still of the "moonshiner" at the present date, except that no attempt was made to conceal the locality of the old fashioned Kentucky distillery.
