Recognizing the vital role the local community plays in the company’s success, Montal and Redmont Distilling Co. strive to uplift those who support them through various initiatives.

During the COVID shutdown, they were one of the only companies to step in and donate to the International Bartenders Association.

Their generosity for those who serve their product helped Birmingham bartenders stay afloat during an incredibly challenging time.

“We’re here for the people of Birmingham. As a local brand, we believe if you guys are successful, we are successful.”
