99.1  Press Release, dated July 26, 2007, issued by Brown-Forman Corporation.



                                                                   Exhibit 99.1

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BROWN-FORMAN SHAREHOLDERS SALUTE RETIRING CHAIRMAN AND HEALTHY BUSINESS
Directors Re-elected; Dividend Declared

Louisville,  KY,  July  26,  2007  - At  today's  annual  meeting,  Brown-Forman
Corporation  stockholders  celebrated  the  nearly  40-year  career  of  company
Chairman  Owsley Brown II, who is retiring from  executive  service on September
30. Brown,  who joined  Brown-Forman  as assistant  treasurer in 1968,  has been
chairman  since 1995 and also  served as chief  executive  officer  from 1993 to
2005.

Brown-Forman  President  and Chief  Executive  Officer  Paul Varga,  who becomes
chairman of the  corporation on August 1, lauded Brown's  tenure.  "Under Owsley
Brown's leadership and direction, Brown-Forman has been transformed into a truly
global  enterprise,"  stated Varga.  "More  importantly,  he has  positioned our
company for continued growth and prosperity in the future."

When Brown became CEO in 1993,  only 22% of the  company's net sales revenue was
derived from outside the U.S. Today, 47% of the revenue comes from international
markets,  even as the  company's  business  in the U.S.  has  continued  to show
healthy  gains.  During  Brown's  tenure as head of the company,  Jack  Daniel's
depletions  have more than doubled,  to over nine million cases, as the brand is
now sold in more than 135 countries across the globe.



An even broader  measure of Brown's  successful  leadership  is indicated by the
company's earnings growth.  Brown-Forman's  earnings from continuing  operations
grew from $0.83 per share in fiscal  1993 to $3.22 per share in fiscal  2007,  a
compound annual growth rate of 10%.

Healthy Business

Brown-Forman  shareholders also applauded the company's record earnings of $3.22
per share from  continuing  operations for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007,
driven by continued  volume  growth and margin  improvement  from the  company's
premium brands.  Diluted  earnings per share from continuing  operations for the
full year were up 1% on a reported  basis and 11% on an underlying  basis.  Over
the past three years, the company achieved an underlying compound growth rate of
12% in EPS, on a comparable  basis,  surpassing the company's  estimated organic
growth rate of 7% for the industry.

Owsley Brown told  shareholders that he is leaving the company in good hands. "I
have great  confidence in Paul Varga,  an  exceptional  leader with more than 20
years at  Brown-Forman.  Paul and his superb team are  committed  to  delivering
excellent long-term growth of our company for the benefit of our shareholders.

"I also  know that  when  Garvin  Brown IV,  another  of our  outstanding  young
leaders,  becomes Presiding Chairman of our Board of Directors in September,  he
will have great success in helping shape and facilitate the variety of important
activities our strong Board undertakes to ensure our long-term prosperity," said
Owsley Brown.

Directors Re-elected

Brown-Forman  re-elected the following people to its Board of Directors:  Owsley
Brown II, Paul C.  Varga,  Patrick  Bousquet-Chavanne,  Barry D.  Bramley,  Geo.
Garvin Brown IV,  Martin S. Brown,  Jr.,  Donald G. Calder,  Sandra A.  Frazier,
Richard P. Mayer,  William E. Mitchell,  Matthew R. Simmons,  William M. Street,
Dace Brown Stubbs, and James S. Welch, Jr.



Dividend Declaration

At its  meeting,  the  Board of  Directors  approved  a regular  quarterly  cash
dividend  of  30.25  cents  per  share  on  Class A and  Class B  Common  Stock.
Stockholders  of record on September 4, 2007,  will receive the cash dividend on
October 1, 2007.  Brown-Forman has paid regular  quarterly cash dividends for 62
consecutive years.

Brown-Forman  Corporation is a diversified producer and marketer of fine quality
beverage  alcohol  brands,  including  Jack Daniel's,  Canadian  Mist,  Southern
Comfort,  Finlandia Vodkas, Herradura and el Jimador tequilas,  Fetzer and Bolla
wines, and Korbel California Champagnes.

Generally,   the  words  "expect,"  "believe,"  "intend,"   "estimate,"  "will,"
"anticipate," and "project," and similar expressions  identify a forward-looking

statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
We  believe  that  the   expectations   and  assumptions  with  respect  to  our
forward-looking statements are reasonable. But by their nature,  forward-looking

results to differ materially from  Brown-Forman's  historical  experience or our
present expectations or projections.  Here is a non-exclusive list of such risks
and uncertainties:

 - changes in general economic conditions, particularly in the United States
   where we earn a significant portion of our profits;

   or catastrophic events;
 - tax increases, whether at the federal or state level or in major
   international markets and/or tariff barriers or other restrictions affecting
   beverage alcohol;
 - limitations and restrictions on distribution of products and alcohol
   marketing, including advertising and promotion, as a result of stricter
   governmental policies adopted either in the United States or in international
   markets;
 - adverse developments in the class action lawsuits filed against Brown-Forman
   and other spirits, beer and wine manufacturers alleging that our industry
   conspired to promote the consumption of alcohol by those under the legal
   drinking age;
 - a strengthening U.S. dollar against foreign currencies, especially the
   British Pound, Euro, Australian Dollar, and the Mexican Peso;
 - reduced bar, restaurant, hotel and travel business, including travel retail,
   in the wake of terrorist attacks;
 - lower consumer confidence or purchasing associated with high energy prices;
 - longer-term, a change in consumer preferences, social trends or cultural
   trends that results in the reduced consumption of our premium spirits brands;
 - changes in distribution arrangements in major markets that limit our ability
   to market or sell our products;
 - adverse impact on performance and reported results as a consequence of
   integrating acquisitions and ensuring their conformance to the company's
   trade practice standards, financial controls environment and U.S. public
   company requirements;
 - increases in the price of energy or raw materials, including grapes, grain,
   wood, glass, and plastic;
 - excess wine inventories or a world-wide oversupply of grapes or agave;
 - termination of our rights to distribute and market agency brands included in
   our portfolio;
 - counterfeit production of our products and any resulting negative effect on
   our intellectual property rights or brand equity; and
 - adverse developments as a result of state or federal investigations of
   beverage alcohol industry trade practices of suppliers, distributors and
   retailers.
