Brown-Forman article

Unread postby bourbonv » Wed Jun 06, 2007 9:22 am

The following article was in today's Courier-Journal: http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbc ... /706061147 .
It is interesting not only because the company made over 2 billion dollars last year, but because of what they had to say about all of their brands. Early Times is still selling 750,000 case a year but it is down from the year 2001 by about 75,000 cases. The big three profit makers for the company are of coarse, Jack Daniel's, Findlandia and Southern Comfort. The thing I would like to see in the future is for Old Forester to join that group, but that will not happen in my lifetime.

There's an article in todays Washington Times about Blue Grass Cooperage owed by Brown Foreman. According to the article, they make between 10,000 and 11,000 barrels a week. Of those barrels, 90% are filled with Jack Daniels. Last year approx. 8.9 million cases of Jack was sold worldwide in 135 countries. According to the article, Woodford Reserve sold 100,000 cases last year.

Quite a statistic. It is quite something how Jack Daniels has grown over the years.
