SHELBYVILLE, Ky. , March 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Jeptha Creed Distillery, the women-owned and award-winning craft bourbon producer, announces the appointment of Autumn Nethery from Head of Marketing and Sales to Vice President of Operations. In this role, Nethery will oversee all facets of the business, including the Visitor Center, Distillery, Marketing, and Sales teams, as the brand enters a pivotal year of growth.
"I'm excited to take on this expanded role as we celebrate our 10th anniversary," said Autumn Nethery. "Our team has ambitious plans for 2026, and I look forward to strengthening our operations and elevating the experiences that make Jeptha Creed so special."
A second‑generation distillery owner working alongside her mother, Master Distiller Joyce Nethery, Autumn is among the youngest distillery owners in the country. Her passion for distilling was ignited during a year at Heriot‑Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland, where she studied the craft with some of the best distillers in the world. That experience, combined with her global travels through Semester at Sea and her marketing studies at the University of Kentucky, shaped her vision for what Jeptha Creed could become.
