News of shake-ups in Maker’s Mark company structure came out on Tuesday, with reports of both master distiller Denny Potter and head blender Jane Bowie leaving the brand. Both will make their exits from the Kentucky bourbon brand on Sept. 2, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader.
In an Aug. 30 tweet posted just after 2 p.m., Lexington Herald-Leader reporter Janet Patton reports Potter and Bowie “have an entrepreneurial itch and have expressed a desire to blaze their own trails in the bourbon industry with a new venture.’”
