Meet Friend of the Gallatin Members Mary Pat and Jim Harris

Business Members Give the Fly Fishing Festival New Spirit(s)

Mary Pat and Jim Harris, owners of Bozeman Spirits Distillery, are big supporters of the Gallatin River: they are both a Friend of the Gallatin Bronze Business member and a Gallatin River Fly Fishing Festival partner.

For MP and Jim, two things make their spirits a highball above the rest: The Stills and Water Quality. According to the Bozeman Spirits website, their spirits travel, “from Mountain Top to Bar Top. Just south of Bozeman lies the Gallatin Range with several drainages that emerge from the snowcapped peaks. This water meanders its way into the valley and eventually into your glass.”

Water that began as a snowflake in Big Sky has the potential to become some darn good Huckleberry Vodka … lucky snowflake!

Not only is Mary Pat a Friend of the Gallatin, she is also a Gallatin River Fly Fishing Festival partner and angling enthusiast. MP helped organize the Montana Distiller’s Guild Tasting Garden, which will take place at the Outdoor Fair on Saturday, June 30th from 4 to 9 PM. Be sure to head over to the Tasting Garden, meet Mary Pat, and drink in the spirit of the festival!

Thank you, Bozeman Spirits Distillery, for supporting clean, cold, abundant Rocky Mountain water and giving that water spirit!
