Old Dominick Distillery - Alex Castle

Alex Castle knew from a young age that she wanted to make whiskey. When she got her chance to distill for the first time, there was no turning back.

After working at Wild Turkey in the heart of the bourbon belt, a message on Linked In sent her career in a direction she couldn’t foresee coming. She was now tasked with rebuilding a whiskey brand back to its former glory, but this time starting from scratch.

She joined Old Dominick Distillery in 2015 and begins the process of building a distillery from the ground up, starting with one of the bottles that inspired the rebirth, the pre-prohibition style Memphis Toddy.

Old Dominick released the first bottle of its own whiskey in 2019, Huling Station Whiskey. Throughout 2020 it has expanded the lineup with a wheated, blended, and single-barrel whiskey.

Meanwhile, Alex continues to experiment with new ideas (including an oatmeal raisin cookie bourbon) through an R&D batch only available at the distillery.
