Career Max Pfeffer has been head distiller at Manatawny Still Works since 2013, with a second role there as director.

Signature
In distilling, continuity matters. Since 2013, Pfeffer’s role at Manatawny Still Works has combined hands-on making with oversight of the wider operation, so the still room and the back-of-house decisions sit in the same frame. That overlap defines the position: part technical, part managerial, both required for steady output. The value of that kind of long service is accumulation. Repeating the work over time builds familiarity with process, timing, and the daily demands of a distillery. In Pfeffer’s case, the dual responsibilities as head distiller and director make that familiarity part of the job itself, rather than something separate from it.

Being in the same distillery since 2013, and doing so as both head distiller and director, places his work in the category of sustained responsibility rather than short-term appointment.
