Whiskey Goes Down in Big Sky

Whiskey A-Go-Go, a Montana whiskey sampling party, is April 11, featuring whiskey tastings from five Montana distilleries and music by DJ 5 Star from 5 to 8 p.m. in the Mountain Village plaza at Big Sky.

The Montana area distilleries represented will be RoughStock (Bozeman), Willie’s (Ennis), Bozeman Spirits, HeadFrame (Butte America), and WildRye (Bozeman).

RoughStock Montana Whiskey is Montana’s first legal distillery since Prohibition and the first to make whiskey in Montana in more than 100 years. Their process highlights the locally grown grains without an overbearing oak influence.

Willie’s Distillery uses a copper pot still made by Bavarian Holstein Stills from Germany. Willie’s uses Montana grains, select yeast, and Montana water. Special ingredients are wild Montana honey or native berries and botanicals.

 Bozeman Spirits Distillery is known for its blended Montana 1889 Whiskey, which was named after the date Montana became a state.
