Montanya Distillers is distributed in about 38 states around the nation.  We are still a very small brand and we are still gaining presence.  If you are a Montanya fan and you don't see our product on the shelf at your favorite bar, restaurant or liquor store, the best thing to do is request it.  Your favorite owner or buyer can find the product with these fine distributors and State Liquor Control Boards.
