Here's one distillery that rose to the occasion and switched from making rum to making sanitiser to meet demand when there was a shortage and they were left unable to sell it after cheaper imports finally arrived. They'd spent $100k on equipment and used rum that was about to be sold for considerably higher prices just to be able to support the community and it was for naught. Poor buggers, bet they don't attempt to help anyone out again.
