Lebanon business to be featured on '60 Minutes'
LEBANON, Mo — One of Lebanon's oldest businesses will be one of several included in a '60 Minutes' story this Sunday.
Independent Stave Company will be featured in a piece on '60 Minutes' along with other businesses about their role in the making of barrels for whiskey, wine, and other spirits. The piece will showcase the process for creating barrels with the perfect amount of smoke and flavor that effects the way sprits taste when they hit your lips.
The business also creates other oak products, according to its website.
In the video above, Ozarks First Jesse Inman chats with longtime Lebanon resident Sarah Angst, who is the Executive Director of the Downtown Lebanon Association. Angst discusses the history of the business, a tour she recently took of the facility, and how the business has a global footprint. It also has a personal connection to her, as she has family that works for the business.
Since 1912, Independent Stave Company has been a part of the Lebanon community, nestled on Interstate-44 as you enter the main stretch town on Jefferson Avenue.
