Ennis Together

A huge thank you goes out to the crew of Willie’s Distillery! Earlier today they announced that they are joining in with other distillers in shifting their production lines to making hand sanitizer and other alcohol-based sanitizing solutions.

In response to the nationwide shortage of hand sanitizer, last week we committed our production team to shifting focus and making hand sanitizer and potentially other alcohol-based sanitizing solutions. We are following federal guidance (FDA, ATF/TTB, WHO, CDC) to ensure our end product is safely within their guidelines, so we do not want to rush this process. We are working alongside the State of Montana, MMEC, MSU Extension, Montana Department of Commerce, Montana Chamber, Tri-State MEP, DES, Madison County Health Department, all area health care facilities, and Madison County and Montana Incident Command to gauge the volume that will be needed for the protection of the public and our healthcare workers. We have mobilized our team to procure ingredients and supplies from all over the nation. Right now, our biggest hurdle is inadequate ingredient and packaging supply – we have the alcohol covered. We have asked our local grocery store, pharmacy, and other businesses to assist us with this, and as usual, our community has helped us a tremendous amount and have come through with good contacts.⁠⠀ Please hang onto your sanitizer containers in case we offer refill service. Stay tuned for release information. We will let you know when this is available for purchase in our tasting room and our area retailers.⁠⠀ In the meantime, our tasting room door may be locked, but walk-up bottle and merchandise service is available at our front tasting room window from 9am to 7pm to help keep our staff healthy. You may also order online from our website for delivery or pickup (spirits are pickup only).⁠⠀ Please feel free to share this with anyone who may be interested. -Robin and Willie
