Ep 30: Jane Bowie and Denny Potter from Potter Jane Distilling

On this episode of Caviar & Chips, Hannah and Nate sit down with two of the most respected names in American whiskey: Jane Bowie and Denny Potter, co-founders of Potter Jane Distilling. After years working side-by-side at Maker’s Mark—Jane leading blending and innovation, Denny serving as Master Distiller, the duo made a bold, once-in-a-lifetime decision: to leave the comfort of a legacy brand and build their own distillery from the ground up in Springfield, Kentucky. In this conversation, Jane and Denny open up about: - how their friendship and shared vision began at Maker’s Mark - designing a $50M distillery to reflect their values and flavor philosophy - what they’re building for the next generation of whiskey drinkers - the chaos, heart, and hilarity of entrepreneurship in bourbon country It’s a rare behind the scenes look at two industry leaders reinventing what a modern bourbon distillery can be.
