Minden, NV

Type: Manufacturing, Retail Size: 14,700 SF

Bently Heritage Distillery developed the historic Old Mill District into a state-of-the-art distillery for high grade whisky and spirits. The Mill Building, built in 1908, is the main production facility for fine whiskey.

The structure consists of four, 24’ diameter by 50’ high steel plate silos as well as a 3 stories/ loft/ low basement unreinforced brick masonry structure. The first floor of each distilling silos were conjoined by removing portions of the skin of each silo. Distilling equipment is arranged vertically to enable a gravity fed distilling process. The brick structure contains the private and public tastings rooms and retail spaces. Portions of the existing floors were removed to create multiple height spaces.
