Brown-Forman is thriving. There are lots of reasons: more than 143 years of authenticity in North American whiskey, one of spirits’ fastest-growing global categories; powerful brands, led by iconic trademark Jack Daniel’s and including names like Woodford Reserve, Southern Comfort, Finlandia, Herradura and Sonoma-Cutrer, among others; and a knack for growing those brands, both by expanding to new geographies and by creating new expressions. Our beverages’ strength is measured in proof. So are the strengths of our company and our people, where the proof is in our brand successes, our growing global presence, and our financial performance. And as we look ahead, we’re confident there’s more proof to come.
