Richnimrod Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Hmmm. Concentrating their efforts on the core business: distilling, 'filtering', aging and selling their Tennessee Whiskey. Probably a good business move. And, I.S. is a recognized world expert on barrel making/firing, along with having been an innovator for a good while now. On the pother hand, any further 'consolidation' of an important process in the hands of an enterprise that already controls the lion's share of barrel-making could backfire. Time will tell, as always. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepler Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 I always thought it was kind of cool that Jack Daniel's had their own cooperage. It kind of set them apart from the others. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bourbon Sabbath Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Making your own barrels always more sense to me than growing your own grain. Barrels can be experimented with char, toast, and length of drying time. Coopering just isn't as virtuous and sexy in marketing as farming is, huh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe their Louisville operations have become more efficient and the other location was no longer needed anyway. Probably a non-story in retrospect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz June Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Guide at JD said ISC will run the cooperage but it will still be exclusively making barrels for Jack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
