River Whiskey—both of which are aged (unlike moonshine)
and perfected in Montana with the pure water these boot-
leggers used.
THE NEW NORMAL
In 1926, Montana voted to overturn the 18th Amend-
ment—the first state to do so. It had been an epic failure—
with lost tax revenue and a high cost to enforce the unen-
forceable. The "Noble Experiment" failed to do away with
alcohol or improve society.
The silver lining? It created opportunities for women
to open their own businesses, help support their families,
socialize in nightclubs, and raise toasts in public.
I propose we raise a toast in honor of these pioneering
women. While we're at it, let's raise a toast to the historians,
authors, artists, whiskey makers, and of course, the Mon-
tana Historical Society who keep the memories of Mon-
tana's women bootleggers alive. Cheers!
