CRAFTED

The Whiskey that Set a Land Speed Record: Montgomery Distilling

19 Nov 2025

Description

Not every distillery owner has a land speed record to their name, but Ryan Montgomery of Montgomery Distilling does. So Eli talked with him about all things spirits, from the Montana-grown grain that helped power that land speed record, to the world’s first bourbon-based amaro. They also discuss the similarities between aquavit and gin; the labor of love known as kirschwasser; and the inspirational effect of Merle Haggard and the Grateful Dead. We Want to Hear from You!Have a topic, craft category, or craft company you’d like to see us cover?
