Brown-Forman to Expand Jack Daniel Production
US-based drinks group Brown-Forman Corporation is to expand its Jack Daniel Distillery in response to global demand for the world-famous Tennessee whiskey. The more than $100 million investment includes the addition of stills, barrel warehouses, and related infrastructure to support the expanding operations. Construction on the expansion will begin this autumn and is expected to be completed within two years.
Jeff Arnett, master distiller at Jack Daniel Distillery, says. “The expansion will help Jack Daniel’s continue to bring our distinctive, charcoal-mellowed whiskey to the world and to follow Mr Jack’s belief when he said, ‘Every day we make it, we’ll make it the best we can.’”
Jack Daniel’s Tennessee whiskey has grown volume for 21 consecutive years, underscoring the brand’s premium, iconic image and reinforcing Brown-Forman’s belief in its long-term appeal and sustained growth potential. The Jack Daniel’s family of brands grew global net sales by a strong 9% in the last fiscal year.
The Jack Daniel Distillery is the oldest registered distillery in the United States and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Jack Daniel’s is known for the world-famous Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey, Gentleman Jack Rare Tennessee Whiskey, Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Tennessee Whiskey, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey, Jack Daniel’s Ready-to-Drink Beverages and Jack Daniel’s Country Cocktails.
