In this month's episode of the Distillery Nation Podcast, we sit down with Jennifer and Justin Stiefiel, the visionary co-founders of Heritage Distilling Company, who share their remarkable journey from craft distilling dreamers to NASDAQ-listed industry innovators.
The Stiefiels take us back to their humble beginnings, revealing how their passion for craft spirits and commitment to excellence laid the foundation for what would become one of the most dynamic distilleries in the United States. Their story is a masterclass in combining traditional distilling practices with innovative business approaches.
One of Heritage's most successful innovations is their Cask Club membership program, which has revolutionized how consumers engage with craft spirits. This unique initiative allows members to be part of the distilling process, creating a deeply personal connection between the distillery and its community.
The conversation takes an inspiring turn as Jennifer and Justin discuss their groundbreaking Tribal Network Partnership, demonstrating their commitment to inclusive business practices and community development. This innovative approach to partnership has not only expanded their reach but has also created meaningful economic opportunities for tribal communities.
Perhaps most notably, Heritage Distilling Company has achieved what few craft distilleries have: going public on NASDAQ. The Stiefiels share insights into this transformative process and how it has positioned them for future growth while maintaining their commitment to craft quality and community values.
Throughout the episode, their dedication to giving back shines through, showing how success in the spirits industry can be about more than just producing great products – it's about creating lasting positive impact in the communities they serve.
Join us for this inspiring conversation that proves how vision, innovation, and community focus can transform a craft distillery into an industry leader while staying true to its roots.

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
