THE INNOVATOR

After an early career in the international spirits business. Rob came home to Maker’s Mark and assumed the family mantle in 2011 as Chief Operating Officer. Since then, he has used his grandparents’ legacy as his roadmap for the future, turning their little distillery unto perhaps the most endearing and culturally inspiring someplace of any brand in the world – all the while protecting the very things that make Maker’s Mark special to so many people.
