About RoughStock Montana Whiskey

Living and playing in Montana is an outdoor enthusiasts dream. From hunting, biking, rock climbing, fly-fishing, skiing, or other adventures in between… this is arguably THE place to be. It’s not too uncommon to see a ranch truck with a fresh bale of hay in the back left over from feeding cattle that morning parked at the local ski hill. Simple living at its finest. The only thing missing from this western dream was a distilled spirit we could call our own. Our goal is to add that missing piece with our Montana Whiskey.

RoughStock Distillery: a dream come true. We are a small craft distillery using 100% local ingredients for a product that is unique to our region. All batches are made by hand, from grinding the grain to bottling the product, right here in our facility in Bozeman, Montana. Our 250-gallon copper pot still was custom designed and manufactured by Vendome Copper and Brass Works in Louisville, Kentucky to our specifications. Vendome is one of the few manufacturers in the world that make quality distilling equipment for the likes of larger well-known whiskey distilleries and ours is no exception.

RoughStock Distillery is owned and operated by Bryan and Kari Schultz. They met in Bozeman and worked toward their dream of starting and operating their own family business. And what a business it is. You will not find another distillery like it. In fact, we are Montana’s first, and only, legal whiskey distillery… EVER!

We are fourth generation Montanans making a product for like-minded people: The First Best Whiskey in The Last Best Place! We hope you agree…
