The Story of Lazy K Bar Whiskey: Building a Montana Legacy with Britt West and Casey Mitchell

Join us as we sit down with Lazy K Bar Whiskey’s Britt West, Partner, and Casey Mitchell, Head of Sales and Marketing—the team behind a bourbon crafted to honor Montana’s legacy and values.

In this episode, they share their personal stories—what inspired them to create Lazy K Bar Whiskey, how the founding team came together, and the importance of honoring Montana’s heritage throughout the process. The team includes actor Cole Hauser, along with partners Britt West and David Leuschen. Their goal was to create a high-quality, authentic whiskey that Montanans can be proud to call their own.

From the careful blend of aged bourbon to the intentional bottle design, this is a brand built to reflect Montana values—strong, grounded, and genuine. We also talk about the century-old guest ranch behind the name, the meaning of legacy, and the smooth, bold experience inside every bottle.
