moonshine

This is most definitely not politics, but after this election, this may be needed 
I am not from Tennessee or Kentucky, my maternal grandparents are from North Carolina, and I remember tasting Moonshine, very light, warm, with the kick of an ole donkey. So this is something I am willing to buy and try.




ABOUT OLE SMOKY

750 ML · MOUNTAIN MADE · CENTURY OLD RECIPE · SHINE RESPONSIBLY ®
Bottled by Ole Smoky Distillery, LLC · Gatlinburg, Tennessee  

Our families were among the early settlers of the Smoky Mountains - they came to the
Smokies through Virginia and North Carolina. They honed the art of whiskey making in order
to survive during tough economic times. Most families from this area share a history of a family member making, running or selling whiskey. Today, the true moonshiners and bootleggers still consider it taboo to tell stories or brag about moonshine glory. Because of the consequences, talking about your craft or trade was something you just didn’t do.

HOW AND WHY

When Tennessee state law recently changed to allow the distillation of spirits, we saw an opportunity to showcase the art of superior mountain-made moonshine. The Ole Smoky recipes are the product of the hard work and experience of local families who have made moonshine in the mountains for the last two
hundred years.
Ole Smoky is the first federally licensed distillery in the history of East Tennessee.

FAMILY BUSINESS, LOCAL SUPPLIERS

This is a local family business. Our whiskey is born in the fertile soil of East Tennessee farms where our corn is raised and then transported to our family’s mill to be ground for Tennessee’s original moonshine. At the distillery, you can see the grains converted into the clear corn liquor this part of the country is famous for.

I have a pension for white lightnin and the Moonshine Cherries
I love Peach tea, so the Peach Moonshine intrigues me
