Cordillera Investment Partners has raised $62 million for its new whiskey opportunities fund.

The fund will invest in diversified whiskey assets. The pool’s backers include endowments and foundations, family offices, registered investment advisors, and other institutional investors.

“The rapidly growing demand for premium product in the whiskey industry, combined with increasing investor demand for new and innovative strategies to stay ahead of the economic environment, has presented a tremendous opportunity,” said Chris Heller, co-founder and co-managing partner of Cordillera in a statement. “Whiskey aging is an undercapitalized market and therefore a great opportunity for Cordillera, where we focus exclusively on these types of niche, non-correlated assets. For our LPs, it offers both diversification and compelling potential returns.”

Ropes and Gray LLP served as fund formation counsel. No placement agent was used.

Based in San Francisco and Menlo Park, California, Cordillera manages over $1.5 billion of capital on behalf of endowments, foundations, family offices, wealth advisors and other institutional investors.
