In literature, the term "distiller" often serves not only as a job title but also as a marker of a particular social and economic milieu. For instance, in Charles Dickens’s American Notes [1], the word is employed in a way that hints at both the everyday presence and sometimes the dubious activities associated with those in the trade—illustrated by a case involving the theft of a copper measure from a distiller’s establishment. This usage reflects a broader literary trend of using occupational titles to subtly indicate characters’ social positions or to comment on the moral ambiguities embedded in their economic roles.
