Products used: Tie rods and Cross couplers
Background:
Nevada, USA is home to this breathtaking estate distillery. The complex has been meticulously restored utilising its original materials. The buildings have been honoured with a LEED Gold certificate, a testament to their commitment to sustainability.
After five years of renovation, the original structure was awarded with the AIA Honour Award in 2019.
A variety of Single Malt Whiskies are made at the Minden Mill Distillery which was formerly known as the Bently Distillery but, is now owned by Foley Family Wines. In order to make their Single Malt Whiskies, the Malt House uses a range of sustainable grains grown on the 12,000-acre estate.
Macalloy involvement: This was a great project to be involved in given it’s dedication to using sustainable materials and preserving original source materials. The timber beams which are used in construction are supported by Macalloy tie rods. A stunning example of how modern materials can blend in with older designs. Macalloy cross couplers have been used here to connect the tie bars that brace the structure. The cross couplers are in stainless steel, working in perfect contrast with the black coloured Macalloy bars. A unique way to combine colours against the timber frame.
