Myra Barginear, MD, is the co-founder and CEO of Paul Sutton Bourbon. Although her family made bourbon for over 100 years, she was th first to bring Paul Sutton Bourbon to the commercial market. 

A background in chemistry and a love of family, science, and bourbon inspired Myra and her husband, Paul, to revitalize the family's mash recipe. In 2013, reverse engineering techniques confirmed her family's century old mash recipe, and subsequently Paul Sutton Bourbon was established. The annual production of hundreds of barrels of the family's century old mash recipe and harvest of grains from local, family-owned farms authenticates their passion, patience, and commitment to their family's legacy. 

Myra became the first woman to co-fund and lead a solely owned and operated family distilled spirits company and was named a leading "Woman of Whiskey" by Forbes Magazine. Her mission is to produce the highest quality bourbon whiskey and ensure her family's traditions live on through the legacy of Paul Sutton Bourbon. 

Paul Sutton Bourbon sets the new standard for gran-to-glass bourbon whiskey. Named "Top 50 Whiskey" in the world by the International Spirits Competition and awarded "Gold" at San Francisco's Spirits Competition, Paul Sutton Bourbon is gaining national attention as one of America's best craft bourbon whiskeys.
