Meet Tennessee’s 1st Woman Distiller Since Prohibition
After receiving a degree in chemical engineering from the University of Kentucky, she worked for various companies, making everything from beer to laundry detergent before landing a job as a production supervisor at Wild Turkey. She worked her way up at the famed Kentucky distillery for four years — until she got a message on LinkedIn asking if she knew of anyone interested in working for a startup distillery in Memphis.
She and her husband decided to make the move from their home state of Kentucky to Memphis for Castle to take the job as head distiller of the newly reestablished Old Dominick Distillery.
It was at that point history was made, and she started making her mark on the Tennessee whiskey industry.
