Mrs. Jessica Morgan+FollowBourbon factory closures shake LouisvilleBourbon 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 #Louisville00Share
dianefrank+FollowWhiskey Sales Take a NosediveWhoa, did you see MGP’s whiskey sales just dropped 24%? That’s huge for one of America’s biggest distilleries! Turns out, scaling back production was a smart move. With younger folks drinking less, more distilleries popping up, and brands looking elsewhere, it’s a wild time for the whiskey biz. Some say it’s just a temporary glut, others think it’s a generational shift. Either way, bourbon lovers, things are getting interesting! #Food #WhiskeyNews #Bourbon9852Share
Mary Williams+FollowWhy Knob Creek Is Every Bartender’s SecretOkay, Knob Creek is THAT bourbon—aged 9 years, bold, and only $24. Bartenders love it because it’s got big flavor, a little heat, and works for both sipping and mixing. It’s the go-to for an old fashioned or just neat, and honestly, it punches way above its price. If you’re bourbon-curious, this is the bottle to grab. Bonus: it’s got a cool backstory and is still run by the Beam family. Anyone else obsessed? #Bourbon #WhiskeyLover #KnobCreek #BartenderPick #WhiskeyWednesday #Food40Share
