The Swisher, Iowa, distillery will spend $2 million over the next 18 to 36 months to expand its stillhouse, add equipment and construct a warehouse to store whiskey.
Expansion of the stillhouse would let Cedar Ridge increase its production from four barrels a day to eight, Jeff Quint, owner, said. Cedar Ridge also wants to boost its barrel storage from about 3,000 slots to between 7,000 and 8,000.
It also operates a winery in Swisher.
