LAS CRUCES, N.M. - NM State and Dry Point Distillers have launched Pistol Pete's Six-Shooter, the first collegiate-licensed whiskey in the country. The whiskey will be available for purchase beginning Nov. 12 in and around Las Cruces. A portion of the proceeds will go to support NM State's more than 400 student-athletes.
"We're so excited for this opportunity to work with New Mexico State University," said Chris Schaefer, owner of Dry Point Distillers and a graduate of NM State. "Craft distilling is an emerging industry in our state, and our business is still relatively new on the scene.
