Alex Castle is senior vice president and master distiller at Old Dominick Distillery in Memphis, Tennessee. She was the state’s first female head distiller, and last year she was elected as president of the Tennessee Distillers Guild. She also serves on the Craft Advisory Council for the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States and is on the board for The Spirit Hub Independent Distillery Preservation Fund.

In this episode, Castle spoke to senior editor Jon Page about her path to distilling (which took root in high school), her move to Memphis, and the product line at Old Dominick, which includes whiskey and gin.
