Michter’s Whiskey Founders
(NOTE: FOUNDERS ARE LISTED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER)
1
Pam Heilmann
When Joseph Magliocco, of Michter’s, came to Pam Hellman with the opportunity to start a distillery, this challenge was truly intriguing. She would have her hands in everything, from personnel to equipment. This was exciting! She couldn’t say no. Heilmann’s philosophy is “the best of everything.” In 2016, Heilmann became the first female Master Distiller in Kentucky since Prohibition.

Joe Magliocco
Joseph Magliocco’s earliest link to Michter’s came in the late 1970s, when he took his very first sales job at his family’s wine and spirits business. His first task in the job was offloading the poorly selling Michter’s, then a Pennsylvania brand. As he worked to clear out the Michter’s decanters, he developed an affinity for the brand.

Andrea Marie Wilson
In 2014, her job at Diageo was dissolved and she began at Michter’s the next day. From a giant in the industry to a family-owned business, which has brought a new list of opportunities for Wilson. From then to now, she has become the Master of Maturation and Chief Operating Officer.
