Since 2004, bourbon and rye whiskey produced in Bardstown, Kentucky by Kentucky Bourbon Distillers has been sold under the Michter's label, currently owned by Chatham Imports, Inc.
For example, the Bomberger's Distillery began operations in 1753 but no longer operates (most recently having been shut down in 1989), and the currently-operating facilities at the Buffalo Trace Distillery, the Woodford Reserve Distillery, the Makers Mark Distillery, and the Jack Daniel's Distillery have all had some periods in history during which they ceased operations.

Paul Hornung and Frank Metts bought the old distillery complex, sold half, and kept the other half to establish Golden Foods/Golden Brands, a vegetable oil and shortening company.
