Just went in, but didn't stay long because they seemed pretty busy and nobody greeted us for a while. Seemed pretty cool and smelled like rum

We loved this place so much we visited three times in three days. Granted, the town of Crested Butte is small and there's only so many places to visit. But if you want a great cocktail, go here. A huge antique bar anchors the design of the place and makes for a warm, charming atmosphere. Talented mixologists craft a huge... More

I don't drink alcohol, but the tour of the distillery was very interesting and well-presented! They have many different cocktails, all of which can be made without alcohol. Try the beach bum! It's yummy! They also have homemade peanut and almond butter, pesto, desserts, and breads. We bought the cinnamon raisin bread, and it's excellent toasted with butter. Highly recommend!

What looks like another bar with colorful props is actually a working distillery. Of all the spirits they could have brewed, they decided on rum. It is an unexpected and wonderful discovery. I sure as heck do not see sugarcane growing on the ski slopes out there! The sugarcane comes from Maui. The yeast is champagne yeast I was told,... More

What a unique and fun place. A great addition to one of my favorite towns. We stopped in after the 4th of July parade and did a rum tasting. We also ordered cocktails and a cheese/salami/olive platter (the large platter was huge by the way and more than enough for 4 people). After our first round we all ordered the... More

While visiting Crested Butte for the day, we stumbled upon Montanya and decided to stop in for a drink after glancing at the menu outside. The interior is beautiful- it has an old West saloon feel with some modern tweaks. They were making a batch of rum when we were there, but we did not take the tour. We were... More

I would love to know what day and time you stopped in at Montanya so I can follow up constructively with my staff. Generally our 10 tasting room bartenders get very high marks from customers, so this is alarming to me. Were you offered a tour and decided against it, or was a tour not offered? please let us know... More

I had three different drinks - LOVED them all. So creative and fresh... I'm not a fan of rum, but these drinks were fabulous - I wanted to try them all. I may be a fan now!! They have their recipes online - so find one (or many) you like and create at home. We're in Crested Butte a few... More

This is a must do. The rum is like you've never had before and the cocktails are delicious. The small plates are plentiful and reasonably priced and they are family friendly. We went with our 2 1/2 year old and it was no problem.

I thought I had written a review when I came here in the summer, but am sad to say that I did not. So I feel that I must sing their praises now. I visit Montanya at least twice every time I visit CB. I was here in Summer, Thanksgiving and am here now. In the summer, I visited the... More

We visited the tasting room for Montanya Distillers with our 6 and 9 year old sons and all had a great time. Their drinks are amazingly creative, fresh, and delicious. Non-alcoholic versions are available for the kids. The still has moved with the owners to Crested Butte, but the tasting room is being kept open and the talented and friendly... More
