Wild Huck: The Huckleberry Vodka You Asked For — Done Our Way

If you’ve spent any time in our tasting room, you’ve probably heard it.

“Do you guys have a huckleberry vodka?”

It’s one of the most common questions we get — especially in the summer, when Montana smells like pine needles and sunscreen and someone inevitably shows up with purple-stained fingers from picking those delicious beauties.

So eventually, we stopped answering the question and started working on the solution.

Wild Huck was created by popular demand.

Not because flavored vodka is trendy. Not because every other shelf has one. But because the people who drink our spirits kept asking for a version that felt like us — clean, balanced, and actually Montana.

Why Huckleberries Hit Different Here

In Montana, huckleberries aren’t just another fruit flavor.

They grow wild in the mountains across western Montana — often in higher elevations near Glacier National Park and throughout the Flathead Valley. You don’t farm them at scale. You go find them. And usually, you keep an eye out for bears while you’re at it.

They’re tart. They’re a little sweet. They taste like late summer. And if you grew up here — or spent enough time hiking here — you know that flavor instantly.

That’s the flavor people were asking us to bottle.

But Here’s the Thing…

We weren’t going to make something syrupy. Or purple. Or candy-sweet.

Glacier Dew vodka is built on Rocky Mountain snowmelt — naturally filtered, mineral-balanced water that gives it a clean, structured finish. If we were going to add huckleberry, it had to respect that base.

So instead of dumping in whole fruit and turning it into something heavy, we extracted the natural flavors of huckleberry and lemon in a way that keeps the spirit crystal clear.

The result?

It still looks like vodka.

It still drinks like Glacier Dew.

But it carries that subtle, bright Montana fruit character.

The huckleberry adds depth and a slight tartness. The lemon lifts it and keeps it crisp. It’s bottled at 70 proof, which makes it easy to sip — not overpowering, not cloying.

More mountain air than candy shop.

How We Like to Pour It

Behind the bar, we keep it simple:

Glacier Dew Wild Huck + soda + lemon twist.

Or shaken with fresh lemon juice for something a little brighter.

Or just over ice after a long day outside.

It’s the kind of bottle that disappears faster than you expect.
