Bourbon lovers in Louisville are feeling the impact as two major factories shut their doors, signaling deeper trouble for the iconic industry. Brown-Forman’s cooperage, which made barrels for brands like Jack Daniel’s, has closed, cutting over 200 local jobs. Meanwhile, Diageo ended bottling at the historic Stitzel-Weller Distillery, affecting dozens more workers. With big names like Wild Turkey and Bulleit seeing sales drop sharply, it’s clear the bourbon boom is over—for now. How do you think these changes will affect our community and the future of Kentucky bourbon? Let’s talk about what comes next. #Business #Bourbon #Louisville
