Four Branches Bourbon taps Gregg Snyder as advisor
Gregg Snyder brings decades of industry experience to Four Branches Bourbon, where he will serve as master distiller and craft limited edition expressions.
Veteran-owned whiskey brand Four Branches has announced the addition of Gregg Snyder as a strategic advisor. Snyder is a 47-year industry veteran known most recently for his tenure as master distillery for Chicken Cock Whiskey.
“Producing exceptional Bourbon has been the foundation of our company and as we prepare to introduce new offerings and grow, we’re honoured to have Gregg’s wisdom and palate in our corner,” Harold Underdown, retired master chief Navy SEAL and one of Four Branches’ founding partners, said.
Snyder will serve as master distiller in an advisory capacity, guiding the brand’s limited release schedule.
Prior to Chicken Cock, Snyder held senior operations and production roles at Seagram, Brown-Forman, Wild Turkey, and Jim Beam. He brings with him decades of experience in distillation, ageing, bottling, blending, and cooperage operations.
“I’m very honoured and extremely excited to have the opportunity to work with these distinguished gentlemen and the entire Four Branches team,” Snyder added. “Their story, history and noble mission are something that all Americans should appreciate and value, which emulates my involvement – to bring consumers a high-quality Bourbon that people will appreciate and value.”
Four Branches was founded in 2023 by veterans representing all four branches of the armed forces – US Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines.
The brand is committed to supporting veterans and first responders, and since its founding, has raised more that US$400,000 for relevant nonprofit organisations.
