Alcohol producer Brown-Forman will create around 200 new jobs thanks to plans to open a new cooperage to craft barrels in Decatur, Alabama for Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey.
The facility is needed to meet growing global demand for Jack Daniel’s.Its location was decided upon for its location between two mills that will provide the wood for the barrels. The new site should be operational in May 2014 and will be the company’s second cooperage, alongside its first in Louisville, Kentucky.
Brown-Forman employs nearly 4,000 people across 135 countries.
Jack Daniel’s master distiller Jeff Arnett notes that the barrels are “an important ingredient” in whiskey, saying that “all of the colour of Jack Daniel’s and more than half of our whiskey’s flavour is derived from the barrel”.
