Lacie Thornton is our fourth badass female distiller in three episodes, and she knows a thing or two about both sharks and booze!! Lacie is one of two distillers at Grand Traverse Distillery, where she is responsible for the production of vodka, gin, rum, bourbon, and rye whiskey at Michigan's first Craft Certified Grain-to-Bottle distillery. They’re a small company, but they produce more booze than any other distiller in the state of Michigan!
In a former life, Lacie was a scientist working with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Although she’s no longer dealing with marine wildlife, she’s still a scientist through and through. Because, if you think about it, a distillery is really just a giant lab (where you CAN taste your experiments)!!
We also discuss:
The Depression-era still they’re using at Grand Traverse Distillery
How Traverse became one of the first craft distilleries in the country
The science (and alchemy) behind the distillation process
Sourcing local ingredients
Lacie’s daily routine at the distillery
How you can taste these delicious spirits
The similarities between marine biology and distillation
Becoming a distiller
Creating more opportunities for women in the spirits industry

She then worked in the field for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Maryland before changing focus and returning to Northern Michigan to be a distiller.
