E230 - Chris Fletcher Jack Daniel's Master Distiller

Filling the shoes of retired Jeff Arnett, Master Distiller of Jack Daniel's will be no easy task! But Chris Fletcher is up for the task; he's got the education, the training and the genes! Fletcher had previously served for six years as Assistant Master Distiller under Arnett and will now be responsible for the overall quality of Jack Daniel’s from “grain to glass,” innovation and serve as a global ambassador. In addition, he will oversee the distillery’s new “Distillers in Training” program which aims to recruit, teach, and mentor the next generation of whiskey makers.
