Announcing Downing Lecturer at SNS 2026

We are excited to announce this year’s Downing Lecturer, Joseph J. Magliocco, President of Louisville-based Michter’s Distillery as well as its parent Chatham Imports, a supplier of imported wines and niche spirits. Joseph graduated from Yale College, where he majored in Religious Studies, and he began working as a part-time bartender. He went on to earn his law degree at Harvard Law School.

Upon completing his studies, he began working in the spirits industry. In the 1990's, working with his mentor Dick Newman, former President of Austin Nichols, he restarted the Michter's brand. Joseph has received several honors during his career including his 2023 induction into The Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame® and his 2024 induction into The Whisky Magazine Hall of Fame. Inducted in Bordeaux as a Commandeur de L’Ordre du Bontemps de Medoc et de Graves, he has considerable experience working with wines as well.
