People: Woodford Reserve Brings New Assistant Master Distiller Into Play

It’s been a busy year so far at the iconic Woodford Reserve bourbon distillery in Kentucky. We’ve seen the debut of a new limited edition batch proof offering as well as the release of the yearly Kentucky Derby artistic bottle, this time drawn by a Brown-Forman employee. Staffing has also been shifting, with word a new assistant master distiller has been brought in.

Master Taster Elizabeth McCall, according to Woodford Reserve, has been promoted to assistant master distiller, joining the ranks as one of the youngest distillers in the U.S.
