You’ve probably heard the title “Master Distiller” — we are in bourbon country, after all — but what does that role entail?
While there’s no official definition or certification for the title, master distillers manage every step of the bourbon-making process, from concocting the mash to determining how long spirits spend aging in barrels. If you’d like to get a closer look, now’s your chance.
