What It Takes— Michter's President Joe Magliocco

Send us a text

In the late '90s, Joe Magliocco made a small investment to become the sole owner of the Michter's whiskey trademark, a historic brand originally founded by a Swiss Mennonite farmer in the 1700s that had since fallen into obscurity.  The trademark only cost Magliocco $245 to snap up at a time when consumers and distributors wanted nothing to do with the category. Thanks to a sound strategy, great team building, and a meticulous method of production, the revitalized brand was named The World's Most Admired Whisky by Drinks International. 

The Park Street Insider Podcast is pleased to welcome one of the industry's top-tier brand-builders, Joeseph Magliocco, to discuss his journey developing a forgotten entity into a global phenomenon. The two discuss the key decisions that helped to elevate the brand, and development of the whiskey segment in the U.S.
