The state-of-the-art carbon-neutral facility will feature a distillery, a drying operation, three warehouses, and a top-notch visitor center. Construction on the project commenced in January 2023 and is expected to wrap up by July 2024. Notably, the Marion County facility will be entirely carbon neutral and avoid the use of fossil fuels in bourbon production.
