a. Charles Medley Distillers Kentucky (CMDK) is currently undergoing
renovation. Upon completion in mid-2009 the plant will begin production
of Traditional Kentucky Bourbon. This will be the main product
manufactured at the plant.
b. The plant is expected to produce more than 32,000 barrels annually,
with each barrel holding 53 gallons.
c. The bourbon will be aged at least four years before bottling. While there is
currently not a label or brand developed for this bourbon, Angostura plans
to develop a brand before bottling commences.
d. All the water used in production comes from deep wells located on the
property.
e. There are currently plans to employ about 30 people at the site, with
applications being accepted during second quarter 2009.
f. The plant consists of 19 building on two sites covering 28.3 total acres.
g. There are seven warehouses on site, five four-story tile warehouses dating
from the 1930s, 1949s and 1959s, and two six-story metal buildings built
in the 1970s. Each warehouse has wooden racks with a capacity of
approximately 20,000 barrels each.
h. There are plans to eventually include the facility in the Kentucky Bourbon
Trail. This is a tour route that connects some of
bourbon makers. A visitor’s center, tours and sampling are all items being
discussed for the future of CMDK.
