It Was Born at Ballast
In 2015, Constellation purchased Ballast Point, and as Cutwater — with Cherney as master distiller — moved to its new digs, it completely broke off from Ballast Point.
How much did Cutwater Spirits sell for?
The sales price also drew disbelieving gasps: $1 billion. Cherney, Kight and Ballast Point co-founder Jack White used their shares to turn Ballast Point Spirits into Cutwater.
How long has Cutwater Spirits been around?
Founded in 2016 by former Ballast Point executives the Cutwater Spirits facility is 50,000 square feet and home to a full service 220 seat restaurant, bar, expansive outdoor patio and a distillery featuring five stills including a 40′ tall Vendome Copper and Brass Works column still.
