The maker of the popular Jim Beam bourbon whiskey says it will halt production at its main site in Kentucky for all of next year.
The distillery will stay closed while the firm takes "the opportunity to invest in site enhancements," it told to the BBC in a statement on Sunday.
"We are always assessing production levels to best meet consumer demand and recently met with our team to discuss our volumes for 2026."
Distillers in Kentucky - famous for its bourbon - face uncertainty, in part, due to US President Donald Trump's trade policies.
The brand is owned by Japanese drinks giant Suntory Global Spirits, which employs more than 1,000 people across its sites in Kentucky.
