Scott MacIntyre is a Montana man through and through. He’s always worked in the bar business and so did his father before him. He started Badlander Spirits so people could have restaurant-quality cocktails at home and in the wild. While creating the spirits, he discovered that the Rocky Mountains that run through Montana are home to some of the best alpine water so he started canning that too.

With the exception of tequila from Mexico, all ingredients including the cans come from the USA, if not Montana.

Canning is no small feat. It takes a specialized facility and most canners are cost-prohibitive for new small businesses trying to get their product to market. So Scott started his own. The Badlander cannery is in Helena, Montana and offers copacking that’s affordable and with lower minimums, with the intention of making it easier for Montana residents to start small businesses and keep it all in-state.
