In plain English
Brown-Forman is one of the world's largest spirits makers, built around a single iconic brand: Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey, which alone is roughly half its sales. From grain and self-coopered American oak barrels it distills whiskey, tequila (Herradura, el Jimador), rum and gin, then sells almost everything in the US through the three-tier wholesale system. It is a 150-year-old, family-controlled dividend aristocrat: descendants of founder George Garvin Brown still command over 70% of the voting Class A shares, leaving the listed Class B stock non-voting.
