Multnomah Whiskey Library

Client

Now known as one of the best whiskey bars in the world, the Multnomah Whiskey Library opened its doors in 2013 when the original founders converted a 6,000-square-foot piano store into a bar in Portland, Oregon. In addition to being a coveted Portland destination, they serve many charities as well as partner with master distillers, brand ambassadors and spirits professionals to offer premium experiences.

Their goal

The founders came to Meriwether Group to very discretely help them find them a buyer. It was not a public sale, so it required a high degree of privacy and confidentiality as not to disrupt the business or the employees who worked there.

How we helped

Meriwether Group reached out to our network with great care and discernment. Using our deep connections, we identified investors we believed could manage and continue to nurture this unique Portland icon.

The result

Meriwether Group served up several potential buyers from which the founders could choose, resulting in a high multiple for the business and very happy parties on both sides of the table.
