Keeping with a theme I started with Stitzel-Weller, I thought it would be interesting to list the Master Distillers of various distilleries. Here are the master Distillers at Brown-Forman:
GG Brown
BF Mattingly
Manual Ice
Carl Franklin
Leo Reidinger
Lincoln Henderson
Chris Morris

Thanks Mike. I didn't realize that Manuel Ice was that far back in the line-up.

Joe,
Manuel Ice was the person that started distilling for Brown-Forman right after prohibition. His job was to train future distillers for the company, as well as to make Old Forester and Early Times.

Thanks Mike!
Could you also modify your first post with the range of years each one was the master distiller? Birth & death dates?

Linn,
That is going to take some research. I will see what I can do.
