Brown-Forman Corp
An American spirits maker whose portfolio is led by Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey, the world's top-selling American whiskey, along with Woodford Reserve, Old Forester, Herradura, and el Jimador. Founded in 1870 in Louisville, Kentucky, by George Garvin Brown, who pioneered selling bourbon in sealed bottles, it later bought the Jack Daniel's distillery in 1956 and is still controlled by the Brown family. Its name came from George's 1890 partnership with his accountant and friend, George Forman.
