Trailblazing Distillers - AFAR
"A Frankfort, Kentucky–based distillery that became a notable sign of change in the bourbon world when Marianne Eaves was named master distiller in 2015; her appointment highlighted both the industry’s traditional, insular culture and a shifting landscape as women began earning “master” credentials. Eaves’s background in chemical engineering and a nearly decade-long climb at Brown-Forman—from intern to master taster under mentor Chris Morrison—illustrates an unconventional path to leadership and the evolving nature of Kentucky bourbon production." - Laura Dannen Redman
