Montanya rums have only four ingredients

Montanya Rum

• Sugarcane from Hawaii (primarily Maui)

• Rocky Mountain spring / snowmelt water from the West Elk Mountains

• Proprietary yeast

• Tiny touch of house-made caramelized Rocky Mountain honey to enhance the natural flavors of the aged rums (added just prior to bottling)

Closed fermentation takes five to eight days and is carried out in Crested Butte

Montanya Rum

Distillation occurs in an open-flame, hand-hammered Alembic copper pot still from Portugal

Montanya Rum

100 gallon still

The rum is aged to maturity for 3 to 18 months in a Single Barrel Process

Montanya Rum

• Freshly-decanted whiskey barrels from Stranahan’s in Denver, CO

• Oro is aged in barrels that are fresh and wet

Greater temperature fluctuations at altitude force more rum in and out of the barrel's oak pores

Montanya Rum

This results in a smoother, more

flavorful spirit in less aging time

Aged product is filtered and a touch of caramelized honey is added to enhance the natural flavors

Montanya Rum

• Platino rum is filtered using a coconut-husk charcoal plate filtering process which leaves the spirit clear

• Oro is filtered for clarity but not to remove barrel color.

Bottling, labeling and packaging are carried out by hand in the Crested Butte facility
