They have now rolled up all their distribution assets into a company called Republic Beverage which operates in 10 states last time I counted. Republic is a major player here in Texas and have helped facilitate the several barrel purchases I have participated in. The Sazerac Company is not a part of Republic.
I have wondered for a long time about the Goldrings' ownership position in both the production of alcohol (Sazerac) and its distribution (Republic).....a position I have been told is unlawful. I'm certain there are ways to "game" the system so that the ownership of various entities doesn't conflict with the law.

I thought prior to Ancient Age, at one point it was called OFC Distillery. In fact, on the old Rack House in front of the visitor center it's labeled as "OFC" which I believe stands for Old Fashioned Copper. I don't know if there were any other names in between OFC and AA. Maybe Leestown was in there somewhere.
