What is Headframe Spirits?
Headframe Spirits is a pioneering micro-distillery based in historic Uptown Butte, Montana. Founded in 2010 by John and Courtney McKee, the company honors Butte's rich mining heritage by naming its spirits after local headframes and mines, such as Orphan Girl Bourbon Cream Liqueur, Neversweat Bourbon, High Ore Vodka, Anselmo Gin, and Destroying Angel Rye Whiskey. Utilizing continuous flow distillation, a revolutionary approach for micro-distilleries, Headframe Spirits has enhanced production efficiency, processing up to 1,000 gallons of fermented wash daily. The company not only produces high-quality spirits from Montana-milled grain but also manufactures its advanced distillation equipment for sale to other distilleries nationwide and internationally, positioning itself as an innovator in the industry.
