    Woodford Reserve is owned by Brown-Foreman, who also owns Jack Daniels, Old Forester, Korbel, and Chambord.

    There’s no way the subsidiary made those decisions alone. If you’re going to scratch Woodford off your list, you should also stop buying Jack, too.

      Does anyone have a list of unionized distilleries?

        Are there any worker owned distilleries? I’d buy coop bourbon and scotch

          I’d buy co-op stuff, but what you wrote is something different entirely!

    If there’s enough evidence to rule that this happened, that says a lot.

    I hope Four Roses doesn’t screw up or I’m about to be out of luck.

    No. A company with over a billion dollars in revenue? No, this all seems unlikely: They could easily use all the excess from their profits to support their entire workforce with good wages, and the people in charge of such decisions could still have enough to live in luxury themselves. Why would a company try to suppress the wages of its employees? There’s no incentive, and how would they even go about it if, for some strange reason they actually wanted to? It’s not like there’s a power imbalance between employer and employees.

    No, very unlikely, improbable, and doesn’t seem like the kind of thing that would or could happen here.
