Redwood Empire Buys Savage & Cooke, Adds California Ground

Redwood Empire Distilling has acquired fellow California outfit Savage & Cooke.

Derek Benham's company says the deal answers rising demand and gives Redwood Empire a proper visitor destination to call its own.

Consolidation among independent American distillers keeps accelerating, and this one keeps the operation in-state and in family hands, which counts for something these days.
