Craft Bartender (Part-Time) - Minden Mill Distilling

Company Description Minden Mill oversees every step of the grain‑to‑glass process on one estate – no part is outsourced. Estate distilling is the highest calling of craft, ensuring unparalleled quality and authenticity. Featuring best‑in‑class stills and climate‑controlled rickhouses, there is no other whiskey‑making facility like it in the world.
