Brown-Forman Corporation

The company traces its origins to 1870, when George Garvin Brown began selling whiskey in sealed bottles; the Brown-Forman name emerged after the partnership with George Forman. Throughout the 20th century Brown‑Forman acquired and developed numerous brands and facilities (including the acquisition of Jack Daniel's Distillery in 1956 and subsequent purchases of distilleries and brands). In recent years the group has continued international expansion through acquisitions and portfolio reorganizations.

The company states a commitment to brand quality (summed up by the slogan “Nothing Better in the Market”), responsible alcohol consumption, environmental sustainability and building a portfolio focused on the premium segment.

Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky (United States); operations and sales in more than 170 countries with offices and facilities across multiple regions.
