"Kaylin Pulley’s journey at Weldon Mills wasn’t shaped by a title alone; it was shaped beside the stills, through long days in the distillery, and under the guidance of a man who dedicated his life to the craft of bourbon. What began as a temporary position at Weldon Mills while pursuing her undergraduate degree at ECU quickly became a passion. Starting as a Distiller’s Hand, Kaylin worked her way through the distillery into the role of Distiller and now also Production Manager, learning the craft under the mentorship of legendary master distiller Mike Norman. Through hands-on experience and an unwavering commitment to excellence, Kaylin continues to carry forward the tradition, discipline, and craftsmanship that define Weldon Mills Distillery."
