Algoma Capital, the Chicago-based investment firm that provides non-dilutive operating capital to whiskey brands and distilleries, announced it has finalized a seven-figure strategic transaction with a Colorado-based craft whiskey distillery. The funds will be used to expand the brand’s production infrastructure.
Brian Rosen, Founder and Chairman of Growth Beverage, the parent company of Algoma Capital, shared his enthusiasm for the transaction, stating,” Algoma Capital was created for whiskey brands by whiskey people. We understand the unique cash flow requirements that accompany the extended aging process of high-quality whiskey, and we’re excited to offer a non-dilutive investment option for the industry.”
