摘要

Brown-Forman Corporation has announced that it has purchased all shares of Slane Castle Irish Whiskey Limited. Brown-Forman will invest approximately $50 million to build a new distillery and consumer experience on the historic Slane Castle Estate in County Meath, Ireland, the home of Henry Conyngham, the eighth Marquess Conyngham, and his son, Alex Conyngham, the Earl of Mount Charles. "We are very excited about this new venture into Irish Whiskey," said Brown-Forman Chief Executive Officer Paul Var-ga. "Brown-Forman has a long history of bringing great whiskey to the world, such as Woodford Reserve, which we introduced in 1996 and has since grown to become one of the world's leading super premium bourbon brands."
