A drink with… Lisa Roper Wicker, Whiskey Thief Distilling Co

FeatureBy Ted SimmonsThree years after leaving Kentucky whiskey producer Widow Jane, and a few false starts later, the self-proclaimed itinerant distiller has found her new home.
You left Widow Jane in November 2022 and landed at Lyons Brewing and Distilling, then Garrard County Distilling – but neither place stuck.
At Widow Jane, I started as a consultant and worked my way into a full-time position.
I have to be careful about making comparisons to Widow Jane, but it is virtually the same size as when I started there.
