‘

Detailed DescriptionWillie’s Distillery, out of Ennis, Montana, clearly saw the writing on the wall when developing their their Montana Honey Moonshine, capitalizing on this whiskey scarcity and two growing trends in whiskey production: locally sourced ingredients and flavored whiskey. Montana Honey Moonshine is made “with three Montana grains and a special kind of molasses.” The molasses in the mash technically makes this moonshine a sort of whiskey/rum hybrid.Willie’s Distillery Montana Honey Moonshine Tasting NotesNose: The honey is most present in the nose of this whiskey, which is to be expected, considering the name. The aroma is clear and shallow, devoid of alcoholic burn, with mild floral notes.Palate: The flavor starts off smooth and almost imperceptibly light with the honey flavor from the nose joined by notes of caramel corn and magnolias. Surprisingly the honey doesn’t mask the flavor of the moonshine, but actually brings out flavors otherwise hidden by more alcohol forward natural moonshine flavor.Finish: Lingering.Distillery InformationBorn in a small town of 900 residents in southwestern Montana, Willie’s Distillery was established in 2010 with a simple goal in mind: create brands and products that embody the independent spirit and authenticity of the American West while supporting its local economy and residents.
