Submitted by jhartgen@abi.org on

An award-winning North Texas distillery that declared bankruptcy earlier this year has been purchased for $6 million, according to U.S. bankruptcy court records, the Dallas Morning News reported. Les Beasley, the master distiller and founder of Whiskey Hollow, received a $250,000 deposit toward the sale from the buyer, Pals WH Holdings LLC. Kevin Lange is listed as the firm’s president in an asset purchase agreement filing. He’s an Austin-based financial adviser and owner of Legacy One Financial Advisers, a wealth management firm. When the deal closes, the deposit will be applied as a credit against the $6 million purchase. Included in the purchase and sale of assets are typical elements, like the land and the facility with all its improvements. Also included in the deal, according to court documents, are machinery, vehicles, inventory, ingredients and finished goods. The filings detail the barrels by spirit age, what kind of wood the liquors aged in and the thousands of bottles in inventory.
