Based in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, Ole Smoky Moonshine offers a total of 6 moonshine varieties in-all, including Original, White Lightin’, Cherry, Apple Pie, Peach and Blackberry. Recently our expertise was called upon by the great folks at the Ole Smoky Distillery aka – “The Holler” to test, taste and review one of their newest concoctions – Ole Smoky Peach, which is said to have a flavor profile that adds just the right touch of aromatic sweetness and is easy to sip however you like, straight from the jar, over ice or mixed into a creative cocktail.
Ole Smoky’s roots are steeped in southern tradition. So they’re proud to be a locally owned Tennessee family business. In fact, the original Ole Smoky Moonshine recipe is one that dates back nearly 200 years when moonshinin’ in the Great Smoky Mountains was a way of life. Today Ole Smoky is Tennessee’s first legal moonshine. In true southern style, each Ole Smoky Moonshine flavor is inspired by the hand-crafted recipes of the Tennessee families who have been bottling moonshine in the smoky mountains for more than a century.

As we mentioned earlier we recently got a chance to sit down and discover Ole Smoky Peach ourselves. As a tasting panel we convened and put this fruity concoction to the test… the taste test that is. And here’s what we found…Connecting with our heritage and offering a quality product that is different from anything people have tried before is what Ole Smoky Moonshine stands for, we like to see people come together to support our brand, and we’re thrilled to be named one of the industry’s 2013 Rising Stars.
