Pernod Ricard simply introduced a brand new distillery for a model in its premium American whiskey portfolio. Jefferson’s Bourbon, a fast-growing model within the American Whiskey Collective, will quickly have a facility on the historic South Trail of Kentucky Bourbon.
Pernod Ricard, the world’s second largest wine and spirit firm, claims it should make investments roughly $250 million over 5 years to construct a state-of-the-art, carbon impartial distillery, with associated growing old warehouses in Marion County, Kentucky.
The firm says it intends for this new distillery to be carbon impartial as soon as operational. The facility can be anticipated to be the primary distillery of its dimension within the U.S. to realize LEED certification.
Construction of the brand new distillery – which could have a 7.5 million proof gallon capability — is anticipated to start in January 2023, with a goal completion date for the distillery and associated warehouses is 2025.
“American whiskey is an extremely vibrant spirits category,” stated Alexandre Ricard, Chairman and CEO, Pernod Ricard. “Our philosophy of partnering with entrepreneurial brand founders, while preserving the heritage and terroir associated with the brands they created, has made us an established player in premium American Whiskey. Jefferson’s founder Trey Zoeller is no exception. This new investment will allow us to grow our share of category sales not only in the U.S., but also in export markets.”
