Minden Mill Distilling, in Nevada’s high desert country, recently reported the release of its Minden Mill American Single Malt Whiskey. The distillery uses local ingredients near its location along the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
“Minden Mill American Single Malt is made from 100% estate-grown barley, malted on site. The grain is mashed with M1 yeast, and the water is sourced from Minden Mill’s onsite well, just 50 steps from the distillery’s front door, which is fed by snowpack from the Sierra Nevada near Lake Tahoe. “
“That crystal-clear water is filtered for years through hard, compact granite, making it some of the purest water in the world,” the distillery said in a news release this week.

“Minden Mill has the unique opportunity to help introduce the U.S. consumer to the American Single Malt Whiskey category. This is a true representation of a single estate whiskey, highlighting the unique terroir of Nevada’s high desert and the extreme Sierra Nevada temperaments - from very short growing seasons to the scorching summer days and brutally cold nights. The subtle exploration of flavor based on regional differences is what made Scotch Whisky so compelling to consumers, and we can replicate that experience in Minden with American Single Malt.”
