BENTLY HERITAGE DISTILLERY – CREAMERY BUILDING

Minden, NV

Type: Manufacturing, Retail Size: 15,000 SF

Bently Heritage Distillery developed the Old Mill District into a state-of-the-art distillery for high grade whisky and spirits. The existing Creamery Building was demolished with the exception of the historic brick façade.

The new building has variable ceiling heights up to 34.5’ high. It houses a small public area, tasting rooms, restrooms, prep kitchen, and a second distillery operation for malting of grains, production of neutral spirits, storage and support functions, bottling, packaging and loading. The building responds to the various specific conditions required for the equipment it houses. A variety of conditions exist: open spaces with natural light and natural ventilation, enclosed high-fire hazard rooms, and tall spaces to house column-stills.
