Career
After his admission to the New York State Bar in 1983, Magliocco began a career in the wine and spirits industry. In the 1990s with "brown" spirits in decline and rye, America's first whiskey, on the verge of extinction, Magliocco teamed up with former Austin Nichols president Dick Newman to resurrect Michter's, a whiskey brand that traces its legacy back to America's first whiskey company.
