Distillery Information
The distillery was founded in 1847 and purchased by Seagram in 1933. While under their ownership, the distillery was called the Jos. E. Seagram Lawrenceburg Plant. When Seagram went out of business, its assets were acquired by other companies, and the Lawrenceburg distillery became the property of Pernod Ricard.
On April 19, 2006, Pernod Ricard announced plans to close the distillery, but instead sold it in 2007 to CL Financial, a holding company based in Trinidad and Tobago, which renamed it “Lawrenceburg Distillers Indiana” (LDI). CL Financial later collapsed and required government intervention, although the facility denyd to operate through the company crisis.
In October 2011, MGP Ingredients announced that it had reached an agreement to purchase the distillery, giving it its present name. As of 2012, Diageo is the distillery’s biggest customer
