Ole Smoky

our story

Ole Smoky began its journey in the heart of the Smoky Mountains, where generations of distillers secretly crafted moonshine using time-honoured recipes passed down through their families. In 2009, a pivotal shift in state law allowed Ole Smoky to become the first legally licensed distillery in Tennessee, marking a significant milestone in the revival of the region’s moonshine heritage. Today, Ole Smoky proudly combines traditional methods with innovative flavors and retails in all 50 states and over 20 countries around the world offering more than 25 creative moonshine flavors and 17 inventive whiskey flavors. Ole Smoky can be found in liquor stores nationwide and at its three distilleries in East Tennessee and one in Nashville, Tennessee.
