Diageo supplier to idle 2 Kentucky whiskey distilleries

MGP Ingredients, a supplier to Diageo, will idle two Kentucky whiskey distilleries starting May 1 due to an oversupplied market caused by declining alcohol consumption and global tariffs. This pause in production, expected to last at least a year, will result in 33 layoffs. Other spirits giants like Suntory, Diageo, and Brown-Forman have also announced cutbacks as the American whiskey market faces excess capacity and elevated inventory.

Implied Volatility Surging for MGP Ingredients Stock Options
