   Inside Minden Mill Distillery with Master Distiller Joe O’Sullivan

   What happens when you grow your own grain in Nevada’s high desert, age whiskey in rickhouses modeled on Kentucky and Scotland, and operate two distinct distilleries on one campus? Join Ed and Karen as Master Distiller Joe O’Sullivan takes us behind the scenes at Minden Mill Distillery, in Minden, NV. From the ranch and barrel warehouses to the stills and tasting room, we explore the factors that shape their whiskeys, and taste the results. Join us! CONTENTS 00:00:00 Introduction00:00:52 The Ranch: Carson Valley Water, Grain & Terroir00:08:38 The Bourbon/Rye Rickhouse: Bringing Kentucky to Nevada00:14:07 The Single Malt Rickhouse: Scotland, Barrels & Maturation00:26:12 The Distillery Campus00:27:54 The Bourbon/Rye Distillery00:39:51 The Single Malt Distillery00:51:00 The Tasting: Rye, Bourbon, Single Malt & Coffee Liqueur Show Notes: Inside Minden Mill Distillery with Master Distiller Joe O’Sullivan Our visit to Minden Mill Distillery in Minden, Nevada, takes us well beyond the tasting room. Master Distiller Joe O’Sullivan joins us for a trip to the grain fields, a look inside two very different rickhouses, and a tour of the separate facilities used to make bourbon and rye and American single malt. Along the way, we talk about the land, the equipment, the barrels, and the people behind the whiskey before sitting down to taste the results. 00:00:00 — Introduction We introduce Minden Mill and the features that drew us here: estate-grown grains, two distinct distilleries, and climate-controlled rickhouses inspired by Kentucky and Scotland. We’re joined by Master Distiller Joe O’Sullivan for a tour that follows the whiskey from its agricultural beginnings to the glass. 00:00:52 — The Ranch: Carson Valley Water, Grain & Terroir Our conversation begins on the drive out, with a little of Joe’s background before we turn to the Carson Valley and the water that makes farming possible here. We reach the ranch around 00:04:25 and discuss the grains they grow, the challenges of working with oats, and why Joe finds rye such a compelling expression of the place where it’s grown. 00:08:38 — The Bourbon/Rye Rickhouse: Bringing Kentucky to Nevada Stepping inside the bourbon and rye rickhouse, we immediately notice the change in humidity. We ask Joe how the Kentucky-inspired environment works, why Nevada’s dry climate presents such a challenge for aging whiskey, and what altitude might contribute. We also discuss barrel temperatures, thermal mass, and why the warehouse doesn’t need to follow every outdoor temperature change minute by minute. 00:14:07 — The Single Malt Rickhouse: Scotland, Barrels & Maturation We move into the cooler, more humid environment used for single malt and talk about barrel sizes and finishing projects. The conversation turns to how spirits settle after bottling and opening, then to Joe’s preference for long air-dried staves and high-quality oak. As we make our way back, we also discuss production schedules, water, cooling systems, and the challenges of running an automated distillery. 00:26:12 — The Distillery Campus Back at the campus, Joe points out the pump house and explains why he values ideas from the wider team. We discuss the success of Evil Bean coffee liqueur, the role of Foley’s leadership, and the balance between Joe’s own approach and the contributions of the people around him before heading inside for the production tour. 00:27:54 — The Bourbon/Rye Distillery We take a close look at the Christian CARL pot still and the Headframe stripping still, with Joe explaining how the two work together. Our questions cover cuts, wooden fermenters, efficiency, and what happens to the spent grain and stillage. We also see the small research still, blending rooms, and bottling area while talking about the experienced team that keeps everything running. 00:39:51 — The Single Malt Distillery Joe introduces the historic mill before taking us through the thermal oil heating system beneath the s
