"First named for her unusually cool temperatures, The Neversweat’s name became more ironic among Butte’s miners as her depths grew and her temperature rose. Likewise, our Neversweat Bourbon Whiskey, with its richness of body and depth of flavor, will make you understand why even immigrants who didn’t speak a word of English asked for The Neversweat by name."

Neversweat Bourbon is a 2012 Washington Cup bronze winner.

Whislting Andy's Hibiscus-Coconut Rum was developed in homage to the 1950's Surfer and Whistling Andy's Hand Crafted Rum ~ It is crisp, refreshing, and has undertones of hibiscus, coconut, and banana. Oh, did we mention that it won an International Award and was given a 91 tasters review rating.

"The Anselmo Mine was unique: a zinc mine in the copper town of Butte. Finding its riches at depths of up to 4301 feet, the Anselmo miners had to reach deeper to earn their pay. We reached deeper for our Anselmo Gin as well, and came up with a unique blend of twelve different botanicals, including citrus and huckleberry, that give it a distinct, fresh flavor."

Anselmo Gin was awarded a SIP International Platinum award in 2012.

"Headframe Spirits distillery in Butte sits atop four mining lodes, including The Destroying Angel. We love the rich history under our feet and we love a rich spirit in our hands. In the tradition of Butte’s storied past, we’ve crafted our Destroying Angel Whiskey to steal a quick kiss from an oak barrel before finding its way into the bottle. The Destroying Angel Whiskey has a lightly sweet taste, great for sipping and mixing."

"One of the deepest and richest mines in Butte, The High Ore rewarded those who braved its depths with dense lodes of high-grade copper in its rocky heart. Made from the freshest waters of the Montana snowmelt, and crafted with care and attention to detail, our High Ore Vodka is just as refined, just as satisfying."

High Ore Vodka is a 2012 Washington Cup silver winner.
