Who’s Taking Over Brown-Forman’s Old Barrel Spot?

Brown-Forman just sold its old Louisville barrel-making plant for $13.66 million after shutting it down in April. The new owner? Independent Stave Co.—think of them as the go-to for bourbon barrels. The big takeaway: Brown-Forman is tightening its belt, cutting jobs and saving cash, while Independent Stave is doubling down on Kentucky’s bourbon scene. If you’re a whiskey fan, this could mean more barrels (and maybe more bourbon) coming your way! #BourbonNews #Louisville #BusinessMoves #Business
