The Newest Category of American Whiskey
Leaders in Estate-Made American Single Malt
After a years-long effort by the American Single Malt Whiskey Commission American Single Malt has officially been ratified as the newest category of American Whiskey on December 18, 2024. Minden Mill Master Distiller Joe O’Sullivan has been a pioneer in the movement for category standard adoption, having apprenticed under Steve McCarthy, who is widely recognized as being the creator of American Single Malt in the 1990s.
Today, Joe furthers the category’s innovation as one of the few U.S. distillers making American Single Malt entirely on a single estate, cultivating the distinctive terroir of Nevada’s High Desert region. Minden Mill remains committed to furthering American Single Malt through its membership with the Commission and educating consumers and trade on whiskey’s newest chapter. Visit our estate distillery for a tour and tasting to discover the new dimension of American Whiskey!

State-of-the-Art Distillery
Featuring best-in-class stills and climate-controlled rickhouses, there is no other whiskey-making facility like it in the world.
Crafting a Distinct Terroir
Starting with varieties of grain that will thrive in a shorter growing season, the harsh high desert climate yields a more savory and nutty flavor profile across our range of whiskeys.
