Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Ole Smoky Original and how does it differ from the flavored expressions?

Ole Smoky Original Moonshine is the baseline unaged corn whiskey — clear, high-proof (100–128 proof depending on the specific expression), and grain-forward with raw corn sweetness and the characteristic raw spirit character of unaged whiskey. It is the purest expression of what moonshine actually tastes like without flavoring additions. The flavored expressions (Apple Pie, Peach, Salty Caramel, etc.) use the Original as a base, adding natural flavors and often some sweetening to produce a significantly more approachable, lower-proof product. Apple Pie adds cinnamon and apple character; Peach adds fruit sweetness; Salty Caramel adds the sweet-salty dessert profile that has made it one of the bestselling expressions in the lineup.

Are Ole Smoky products distilled in Tennessee or produced elsewhere?

Ole Smoky Distillery produces its moonshine and spirits at its facilities in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee — both in the Great Smoky Mountains region. The original Gatlinburg location was the first federally licensed moonshine distillery in Tennessee when it opened in 2010, an important milestone given that Tennessee had been a legally dry state for much of the 20th century. All Ole Smoky spirits are made using American-grown corn and produced on-site in Tennessee rather than sourced from a contract distillery.
