Ole Smoky has been making moonshine in the Smoky Mountains ever since our ancestors settled in the area over a hundred years ago—but it wasn’t until Tennessee state law changed that we were able to legally open up our first federally licensed distillery in Gatlinburg. That’s right, the moonshine business hasn’t always been on the right side of the law, but since it led us to where we are now, crafting some of the best moonshines and whiskies you’re ever gonna taste, you could say it was totally worth it. (And you’d be right.)
Today, we still make that kick-in-the-mouth moonshine folks have loved for over a century, but we’ve also continued to innovate with Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine flavors like Lemon Drop, Peach and Apple Pie that have made us famous; because having a heritage you’re proud of is great and all, but being really great today is even better.
