International spirits giant Diageo has announced it will close its bottling operation at the Stitzel-Weller Distillery in Louisville in April.
Spirits that were previously bottled at Stitzel-Weller, 3860 Fitzgerald Road in the Shively neighborhood, will be moved to Diageo's other properties throughout the United States. The restructuring will result in the loss of 33 jobs in Louisville.
