What Brown Forman Corp does.

Brown-Forman Corporation (the “Company,” “Brown-Forman,” “we,” “us,” or “our” below) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1933, successor to a business founded in 1870 as a partnership and later incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky in 1901. We primarily manufacture, distill, bottle, import, export, market, and sell a wide variety of beverage alcohol products under recognized brands. We employ approximately 4,900 people (excluding individuals who work on a part-time or temporary basis) on six continents, including approximately 1,900 people in the United States (approximately 7% of whom are represented by a union) and 700 people in Louisville, Kentucky, USA, home of our world headquarters. According to International Wine & Spirit Research (IWSR), we are the largest American-owned premium-plus spirits company. We are a “controlled company” under New York Stock Exchange rules because the Brown family owns more than 50% of our voting stock.

Beginning in 1870 with Old Forester Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky – our founding brand – and spanning the generations since, we have built a portfolio of more than 40 spirit and ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktail brands that includes some of the best-known and most loved trademarks in our industry. The most important and iconic brand in our portfolio is Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey, the #1 selling American whiskey in the world. 1 Within the Jack Daniel’s portfolio, Jack Daniel’s 14-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey took home honors for World’s Best Tennessee Whiskey and Jack Daniel’s Bonded won the award for Best Tennessee Whiskey (No Age Statement) at the 2026 World Whiskies Awards. Our premium bourbon, Old Forester, was recognized by the San Francisco Spirits Competition in 2026, where both Old Forester 1870 Original Batch and Old Forester 1897 Bottled in Bond won Double Gold (the highest honor).
