Employee Spotlight: Kassia Lawrence
Kassia, better know around Montanya as Kass, is a Bartender and House Ambassador in our Tasting Room and a Mover and a Shaker at our distillery—and that’s not just a compliment, it’s her job title. When Kass isn’t shaking up cocktails in the Tasting Room, she plays an integral role in keeping things moving in the Distillery and at the warehouse and distribution center, where we bottle, age and pack up our rums for shipping. There’s quite a bit of maneuvering when it comes to one-ton super sacks of raw sugar cane, barrels of rum and buckets of unrefined molasses. Kass moves it all!

A Native Coloradan
I am originally from Golden, Colorado, but I have lived in the Gunnison Valley for over six years now. I moved here for my undergrad at Western Colorado University and loved it so much I decided to stay. I was introduced to Montanya through a friend and employee at the time about two years ago. I love skiing, rock climbing, and everything this close-knit community has to offer! The mountains and the people are why I am still here.
On a Day with No Obligations
I would probably be out in the desert rock climbing and drinking beer, surrounded by friends and dogs!

A Dog Mom
I have a two year old black lab mix named Finley Earl the Girl! She loves snow, snuggles and chewing on a good antler.
Globe Trotting
I love to travel! My favorite place so far is probably northern Spain. The rock climbing is unreal and the food is delicious. The next place on the bucket list is probably South Africa or Chile.
