Jack Daniel’s plans $140m distillery expansion
Jack Daniel’s has confirmed plans for a $140 million expansion of its distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee.
The multi-million investment will be used to construct two new barrelhouses and modify and expand the distillery’s existing bottling facility to provide additional bottling and shipping capacity to meet future demand. The expansion will also involve renovations to the distillery’s visitor centre, which last year received more than 275,000 guests.
“The bourbon and American whiskey category is booming, and we appreciate the support of our Tennessee state and economic development officials as we work to meet global demand for Jack Daniel’s,” said Larry Combs, SVP general manager of Jack Daniel’s Supply Chain. “We are especially proud that this second expansion announcement comes as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Jack Daniel Distillery, America’s Oldest Registered Distillery.”
It is the second major project to be undertaken by Jack Daniel’s, which is owned by Brown Forman, in less than five years. In 2013 it carried out a $103m expansion that includes the addition of stills and barrelhouses, creating 94 jobs.
