Buffalo Trace turns whiskey waste into gold

Buffalo Trace is shaking up Kentucky’s bourbon scene—not just with its legendary whiskeys, but by tackling a massive waste problem head-on. Instead of letting tons of leftover stillage pile up, the distillery is teaming up with Meridian Biotech to turn this byproduct into high-protein ingredients for pet food, fish farms, and even fertilizers. This new $40 million facility in Franklin County means less waste, more local jobs, and a big step toward greener bourbon. It’s a smart move that could inspire other distilleries and breweries to rethink what they throw away. What do you think—should more industries turn their waste into something useful? #Food #BourbonInnovation #Sustainability
