An All American Product
It’s true. Every ingredient in a bottle of Montanya Rum is sourced, fermented, distilled and aged in the USA. In addition, all of our labels, hang tags, marketing materials, and labels.
Female Owned and Operated
Unlike most distilleries in the United States, Montanya Distillers is owned, operated and distilled by a high proportion of women. Women are actively involved in everything we do, from distilling and bottling to bartending and quality control, and from bookkeeping and management to PR, communications and sales.
A Certified B Corp
We’ve long admired companies that make quality products and take care of their staff, their communities and the planet. From the beginning it has been our goal to walk in their footsteps and join them in proving that business can be a force for good. In 2018, those efforts earned Montanya Distillers a B Corporation certification, and in 2019, recognition as a Best for the World company. Here’s everything you need to know about our stewardship philosophy:
