Once a slang term for distilled spirits sometimes produced under questionable conditions, moonshine is now a popular (and legal) clear, unaged whiskey. And if you’re curious to try some, all you have to do is head to the charming town of Ennis and check out Willie’s Distillery.

Willie's Distillery is located at 312 E Main St. in Ennis.

Willie is originally from Appalachian moonshine country in western North Carolina, and Robin, the President, grew up on a grain farm in southwest Montana.
Willie and Robin opened the distillery in 2010 with the goal of using local ingredients and regional flavor.

They mash, ferment and distill corn, barley and oats on site, as well as produce spirits from ingredients like molasses, cream, and Canadian whiskey.
The tasting room is warm and inviting, with the feel of an Old West saloon.
