As a National Historic Landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places, we produce bourbon, rye, and vodka and are among the most decorated distilleries in the world—earning over 300 awards, 17 distillery titles since 2000 from publications like Whisky Magazine, Whisky Advocate, and Wine Enthusiast, plus “Brand Innovator of the Year” at the Icons of Whisky America Awards in 2015. We’re proud to be part of the Sazerac family.

Why this role matters

  • Optimize performance: Measure and improve Juice Loss %, WGs/Labor $, OT utilization, and Department OHV.
  • Lead people: Coach Processing employees with clarity and accountability. Conduct investigations, deliver safety kickoffs, and support career development.
  • Stay audit-ready: Keep precise TTB records (122s, 137s, calibrations, system transactions) and navigate internal and external audits smoothly.

What we’re looking for

  • Must have: 3+ years of processing experience in high-velocity manufacturing/production; demonstrated supervisory background; sharp analytical and problem-solving capability; strong MS Office skills with emphasis on Excel; working knowledge of processing and receiving.
  • Nice to have: ERP/MRP/WMS exposure; experience in the alcohol beverage industry; knowledge of beverage processing equipment; union environment experience; familiarity with inventory control and budgeting.
