American Medicinal Spirits Company

Established in 1927, the American Medicinal Spirits Company (AMS Co) was a subsidiary operation of National Distillers. Its purpose was to consolidate a number of distilling companies acquired in order to bottle their warehoused whiskies stocks for the medicinal trade, the only legal marketplace for whiskey during Prohibition in the US. The company was also one of the few with a license to replenish its stocks and in 1929 became the first to legally distil whiskey in America since 1920.

Surplus to requirements, the company was hived back up into National Distillers in 1933 when Prohibition was repealed. The American Medicinal Spirits Company is now an "assumed name" used by Campari America to bottle brands in its Whiskey Barons Collection.
