Autumn Nethery Takes Charge at PaPaw's Ridge

PaPaw's Ridge, a renowned bourbon brand based in Shelbyville, Kentucky, has announced the appointment of Autumn Nethery as its new Vice President of Operations. This transition comes as she shifts roles from Head of Marketing and Sales to lead all operational aspects of the company. Autumn's mission is to cultivate her family’s bourbon legacy while expanding the brand on a national scale.

"Whether fishing by the lake or gathered on a Kentucky ridge, my grandfather, PaPaw, always believed bourbon was for sharing," Autumn remarked. "As I step into this role, my focus is ensuring every bottle of PaPaw's Ridge reflects our family's genuine, small-batch values. We are ready to share our 'good times with good people' philosophy with the entire country."

A New Generation of Distillers

Leading the charge for a new generation of bourbon distillers, Autumn has gained recognition as one of the youngest bourbon brand owners in the country. Her journey began with an education in distilling craft at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland, experiencing the techniques of world-class distillers. This, coupled with her marketing studies at the University of Kentucky and a global perspective gained during a Semester at Sea, shapes her unique approach to championing PaPaw's Ridge.

PaPaw’s Ridge isn’t just a bourbon; it’s a tribute to the spirit and values of Roy Nethery, affectionately known as “PaPaw.” Launched with a focus on a small-batch production, this Kentucky bourbon is crafted using locally grown yellow corn and aged for four years, resulting in an amber-hued spirit that embodies decades of craftsmanship in each bottle.
