"Marianne Eaves became the first female master distiller at Castle & Key, a Frankfort, Kentucky-based distillery, in 2015. Her appointment was significant in the traditionally male-dominated Kentucky bourbon industry. Eaves pursued a degree in chemical engineering and worked for Brown-Forman before earning her master distiller title, showing that there's more than one way to build a career in the spirits industry." - Laura Dannen Redman
