You know whiskey was the primary alcoholic drink in America as far back to colonial times. Not a response to prohibition.

George Washington was a whisky distiller himself and as President put down a 'whisky rebellion' over excise taxes on whisky. Corn distilled into whisky was the primary cash crop of early settlers west of the Appalachians.
