Bighorn Bourbon is a smooth, award-winning Montana bourbon whiskey from Willie's Distillery in Ennis, blended from fine bourbons of varying ages and bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
Willie's Distillery was built in Ennis, Montana, by Willie and Robin, whose family farmed grain in Montana; that farming gave Robin specialized knowledge of the ingredients that go into bold spirits. With four generations of Montanans in the family, they carry on the spirit of the state in small-batch whiskey, vodka, gin and liqueurs.
Bighorn is named for the majestic Rocky Mountain bighorn ram that appears on its label. As a blend of bourbons of varying ages, it is smooth and easygoing: unbeatable on the rocks, and it mixes perfectly into your favorite whiskey cocktail.
It is a fine gift for anyone who loves Montana and its wild places.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.

Blending bourbons of different ages combines the lively spice of younger whiskey with the depth and roundness of older barrels.
Ennis sits in Montana's Madison Valley, surrounded by mountain ranges and famous for its trout fishing on the Madison River.
At 80 proof, it is gentle enough for easy sipping on the rocks, where a little dilution opens the caramel and vanilla.
