Charlie Harden, 69, is just two months away from retiring after 50 years of making bourbon barrels at the Brown Forman Cooperage.
Louisville-based Brown-Forman Corp. closed its barrel-making plant near Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport on Monday after learning that two employees tested positive for COVID-19, a company spokeswoman confirmed.
The company made the restructuring announcement on Tuesday.
