The Whiskey Ring took place from 1871 to 1876 centering in St. Louis during the Presidency of Ulysses S. Grant. The ring was an American scandal, broken in May 1875, involving the diversion of tax revenues in a conspiracy among government agents, politicians, whiskey distillers, and distributors. Whiskey distillers bribed Treasury officials to increase profits and evade taxes. Grant's Justice Department prosecuted members of Grant's own Republican Party who were part of the Ring. The kingpin of the Whiskey Ring was the notorious General John McDonald, whom Grant had appointed Revenue Collector of Missouri District in 1869. Under the leadership of Grant's Secretary of Treasury, Benjamin Bristow, a reformer, the Ring was uncovered and broken up.

(en) アメリカ合衆国においてはウイスキー・リング (Whiskey Ring) と称される、ウイスキー汚職事件（ウイスキーおしょくじけん）は、政府職員や政治家、ウイスキー蒸留業者、流通業者などが結託して、ウイスキーに課されていた税金を詐取、横領していたことに関わる、1875年に露見したスキャンダル。ウイスキー・リングは、セントルイスで始まり、シカゴ、ミルウォーキー、シンシナティ、ニューオーリンズ、ピオリアでも組織された。組織が捕捉されるより前に、一軍の政治家たちが、蒸留酒に課されていた何百万ドルもの連邦税を吸い上げていた。この仕組みには、蒸留係、精溜係、計測係、在庫管理係、内国歳入庁職員などが関わる、広範囲の賄賂のネットワークが関わっていた。 (ja) De Whiskey Ring was een samenspanning tussen een groep Amerikaanse politici en whiskystokers ten tijde van de eerste regering-Grant. De Republikeinse politici werkten toen samen met de stokers uit Chicago, St. Louis en Milwaukee om op massieve schaal te frauderen met accijnzen die door de federale regering geheven werden op whiskey. In plaats van in de staatskas vloeiden deze accijnzen voornamelijk de zakken van de stokers in, die in ruil hiervoor steekpenningen betaalden aan de politici. (nl)
