When it comes to what alcohol consumers are wetting their taste buds with lately, Feeley said whiskey is all the rage as it is currently the largest subcategory on Drizly, an online liquor store. It sits at the eastern base of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range. Minden, which is located southeast of Lake Tahoe in Carson Valley close to the California border, is known for being a historic manufacturing and agricultural town. “The aged liquid and the capabilities here are word class and we look forward to continuing to age and release when they are ready, while also exploring white spirits. “We plan to bottle and sell this whiskey going forward,” said Feeley. Included in the acquisition is approximately 23,000 nine liter cases of Bourbon, Single Malt Whiskey and Rye made by the previous owners at the Minden site. “Over a four-year period they restored the sites on the National Register of Historic Places to LEED Certification standards with the ambition of making some of the best distilled spirits in America. “The distillery was built by the Bently family starting in 2015,” said Nora Feeley, the vice president of public relations, luxury events and consumer engagement for Foley Family Wines.

The facility includes both an American Whiskey and white spirits distillery, housed in a 100-year-old creamery, as well as an American Single Malt Whiskey distillery, which is housed in a 100-year-old flour mill. The Sonoma Valley-based family-owned wine company - which also owns the NHL’s Golden Knights - has officially taken over a restored distillery in Minden.
