Bourbon Law

Kentucky is the birthplace of Bourbon.  Ninety-five percent of all Bourbon is made here, and Kentucky has burgeoning restaurant, hotel, and tourism industries because of Bourbon.  FMD has a team of multi-disciplined attorneys to represent individuals and businesses in all aspects of the Bourbon industry, ranging from Alcoholic Beverage Control (“ABC”) regulation and Kentucky’s Vintage Spirits law, to intellectual property, distillation, warehousing, distribution, insurance, real estate, construction, and mergers and acquisitions.  We provide strategic counsel to local, statewide, and national clients entering the market and to clients needing corporate and transactional services or litigation services, such as protecting trademark rights.

Plus, we literally “wrote the book” on Bourbon law—Bourbon Justice: How Whiskey Law Shaped America (Potomac Books, 2018).  Breadth of experience matters in a wide-ranging industry like Bourbon.
