Sandy assumed that som 2nd Age people would have developed distillation.
My bet are the EWF sorcerers who spent several generations profiting from
the Alchemical Transformer. IMO some time during the EWF the Dwarf of Dwarf
Mine (Isidilian) taught some humans the secret of making the water of life...
The Dragonkill amy have destroyed that tradition, quite likely, but I
suppose an easier ancestor quest will have returned part of the secret. Add
Orlanthi eagerness for intoxication by barley products (btw: do the DP
Orlanthi know barley wine?) and you will get hidden stills as you had hidden
smiths in earth's legends. (How about Glorantha and smiths living in
backwater forests, with charcoalers and other supporters joining that
backwater location? Do Gloranthans use charcoal? What for?)
