Caley brings her charming and outgoing personality to her role at Crafted by always prioritizing customer relationships, educating and sharing her expertise, and letting her passion for spirits shine through everything she does.
As a true expert in the field of spirit-making, Caley loves to talk distilling every chance she gets. She has served as a guest lecturer at UC Berkeley, taught the Vodka Distilling course offered by the American Distilling Institute, and had her article on selecting proofing water published by Distiller Magazine. She has also been featured in the Wall Street Journal as “one of the few female head distillers in the world”. Her sole mission as Crafted’s Distillery Practice Lead is to help distilleries around the globe thrive by automating and streamlining their processes.
Caley majored in art and art history at the University of Denver, and we all know that art majors have a lot more fun than the rest of us - which is why she chose a career path in the spirits industry! She established her distilling pedigree under Rob Dietrich at Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey, through its acquisition by Proximo Spirits. Shoemaker was then tapped by Proximo to lead their California-based brand, Hangar 1 Vodka.
A Colorado native, Caley resides in Santa Fe, NM with her husband of five years, with whom she shares her passion for quality beverage production. She enjoys exploring her state, running and foraging for plants on hikes to run through her essential oil still. The body content of your post goes here.
