History

Old Tahoe Distillery was located in Nevada and was established in 2009 by Mark Taverniti. According to the account, the company's roots trace back to the Taverniti family, who love fine wines and winemaking, and Mark continued the tradition by founding Spanish Peaks Brewery in the early 1990s. The distillery focused on traditional straight rye whiskey and honey-flavored rye whiskey, and used a quality-focused approach built around a rye mash bill and careful small-batch aging in wood. According to the source, the company's official website is no longer available, and updates to the official Facebook page stopped in June 2017. The information indicates 2009 as the founding year and that it likely closed around 2017.
