Making Happiness with Mike Montgomery

In this episode, we talked to Mike Montgomery, the Co-Founder of Blue Run, Spirit Co. and the Vice President of Molson Coors Spirits. We talk about everything from Mike’s past in working in the Olympics, to him meeting his wonderful wife after a very awkward conversation starter! Mike’s knowledge and insight to the world of whiskey is absolutely amazing!

As we begin our conversation with Mike, we can hear the entrepreneurial spirit in his voice and how genuinely he wanted Blue Run Spirits to reach all people. Building community by interacting personally with social media and making sure handwritten notes were sent to everyone who made a purchase.

Mike was kind enough to share Blue Run Spirits’ High Rye Bourbon with us to try during the interview. While we all try to give notes and opinions on this phenomenal bourbon, we all agreed that it evoked a feeling of happiness. We also talk about the new Blue Run Spirits distillery that is set to open 2025.

If you’re looking for a great sit down, fireside type chat, this is it! We do go a little off the rails, but we like to keep it interesting.  So hold onto your lower back tattoos! You’re in for a treat!
