Not every distillery owner has a land speed record to their name, but Ryan Montgomery of Montgomery Distilling does. So I 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. We 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.
