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.

Other work

Magliocco was a speaker for the Traphagen Distinguished Alumni Speakers Series (TDASS) at Harvard University in April 2011. This series invites Harvard Law School alumni back to campus to speak informally with students about their careers.
