Montanya Distillers

Montanya Distillers makes obsessively crafted, high mountain rum in the Colorado Rockies. A certified B Corp, we make the rum that we love to drink: barrel aged, smooth and not sweet, low on funky esters, and full of flavors that are naturally produced not added. Turns out we’re not alone. Since 2008, Montanya Rums have earned 24 gold, silver and double-gold medals, including “Best Rum in the World” at the World Rum Awards and “USA Rum of the Year” at the Berlin International Spirits Competition. We think the secret to our rum’s success lies in the quality, American ingredients in every bottle and our commitment to time-honored, high-mountain distilling traditions.

Founder Story
Karen Hoskin had her first taste of rum in Goa, India. The idea to make it herself solidified on a beach in Belize. She built the distillery in the Rocky Mountains, and we now ship rum to 44 states and 7 countries (and growing). This female-owned American rum is globally inspired and out to be a force for good. From the beginning, Karen set out to create an international rum company that enabled our staff to thrive, helped steward our community, and allowed us to be an industry leader in all areas of sustainability and social responsibility.
