Gray was selected to perform fully integrated services on the 72,000 s.f. bourbon distillery and dried grain facility. The facility features an automated distillery process including a granary, mash cooking, fermentation distillation, and barrel filling. Through the Gray family of brands, complete turnkey solutions have been integrated into this project.

 

Diageo recently announced the 10M proof gallon distillery will be carbon neutral when production begins in the first half of 2021. Taking its sustainability objectives to an even higher level of commitment, no fossil fuels will be consumed for the bourbon production.

 

“Gray is proud to play a role in the carbon neutral efforts happening at the Diageo Lebanon facility,” said Stephen Gray, president and CEO of Gray. “Diageo’s commitment to sustainability will no doubt impact and challenge the industry toward advancement.”
