Meet Master Bourbon Distiller Marianne Eaves - AFAR

"Located in Frankfort, Kentucky, this distillery was rebuilt on the crumbling site of the former Old Taylor Distillery (closed in 1972) and relaunched as a picturesque “bourbon castle.” During its revival it expanded production beyond bourbon to include vodka, gin, and rye whiskey. In 2015 Marianne Eaves was named master distiller there and described the role as a “fairy-tale job,” overseeing the facility’s reinvigoration until she left in 2019 to work as a freelance consultant; her tenure helped raise the distillery’s profile within a traditionally insular Kentucky bourbon industry." - Kara Newman
