The Bourbon Behind Anthem

The Bourbon Behind Anthem

Willie Blazer is the Owner and Co-Founder of Willie’s Distillery. He grew up in Appalachian moonshine country, served as an Army Ranger and Special Forces Medic, and then transitioned to Wildland Firefighting and Smokejumping here in the West. Willie continues to lead the way by crafting the highest quality spirits you can get your hands on - using traditional stills, local ingredients, the best wood barrels available, and maintaining a focus on taste by only using the heart of each batch. Willie’s Distillery is also to thank for our Bourbon Beef Jerky, as every bag is flavored using his spirits. The distillery is located roughly 50 miles south of us in Ennis, Montana, and represents what’s possible when hard work, commitment, and leadership come together here in the West.
