PaPaw’s Ridge has named Autumn Nethery as its new Vice President of Operations, transitioning her from Head of Marketing and Sales. Autumn will now guide every aspect of the company, bringing her family’s legacy to the forefront of the brand’s national expansion.

“Whether fishing by the lake or gathered on a Kentucky ridge, my grandfather, PaPaw, always believed bourbon was for sharing,” Nethery said in a news release. “As I step into this role, my focus is ensuring every bottle of PaPaw’s Ridge reflects our family’s genuine, small-batch values. We are ready to share our ‘good times with good people’ philosophy with the entire country.”

At the forefront of a new generation of distillers, Autumn Nethery is already recognized as one of the country’s youngest bourbon brand owners. Her expertise was honed abroad, studying the craft with world-class distillers at Heriot‑Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland. That experience, coupled with her global perspective from a Semester at Sea and marketing studies at the University of Kentucky, has uniquely prepared her to champion her whiskey brand, honoring her grandfather, PaPaw.

PaPaw’s Ridge is a tribute to Roy Nethery’s spirit and values as a genuine character who was bigger than life. This small-batch Kentucky bourbon is made with locally grown yellow corn and aged for four years. 

PaPaw’s Ridge (SRP: $39.99) is now available for online purchase and shipping to more than 40 states nationwide. Consumers can also check the brand’s Store Locator for the latest retail availability as PaPaw’s Ridge continues rolling out to additional stores and markets across the country.

About PaPaw’s Ridge Bourbon

PaPaw to Autumn, Roy Nethery was a genuine character who was bigger than life. There was a ridge on his farmland where he’d take his family hunting, but in his later years, he was more interested in shooting the breeze than shooting at deer. Roy was an unfussy man who appreciated simple quality, and the bourbon brand was named for him. For more information, please visit https://papawsridge.com/.
