NELSON’S GREEN BRIER DISTILLERY

BRANDON O’DANIEL has been appointed as head distiller to lead production efforts at the Marathon Village distillery in Tennessee while continuing his role as head distiller at Copper & Kings, a Kentucky-based distillery, which is also part of the Constellation Brands portfolio. In his expanded role overseeing both distilleries, Brandon will focus on production, quality, innovation and operations. O’Daniel began his career with vineyard management and consulting, educating farmers on Kentucky’s finest grape varietals following the state’s shift from tobacco. This led him to become a winemaker and eventually brought him to Copper & King.
