“This acquisition further empowers the company to oversee every stage of creation and bottling, from developing innovative recipes to packaging the award-winning spirits in distinctive, eye-catching bottle designs,” Silver Screen Bottling Co. said in a news release.

Since its founding in 2019, Silver Screen has licensed, bottled and distributed award-winning whiskey for NFL Hall of Fame quarterback and broadcaster Terry Bradshaw (Bradshaw Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey) and country performer Alan Jackson (Silverbelly Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey) and has produced limited-release spirits and beers celebrating Star Trek (James T.
