American Rum and Craft Distilling
The rum industry has evolved immensely in the time that Karen has owned and operated Montanya Distillers. Rum has gone from being seen as a beachside beverage to a premium spirit. Karen has been at the forefront of that transformation, introducing spirits and cocktail lovers to high-altitude, premium craft rum. Montanya Rums have won more than 29 gold and silver medals as well as Best in Class designations, including American Rum of the Year in international competition and American Craft Distiller of the Year according to the American Distilling Institute. Karen was the first female recipient of the Bubble Cap Award for Excellence from the American Distilling Institute.
