Drink Ole Smoky Moonshine For National Moonshine Week

It’s National Moonshine Week, and we’re celebrating with a feature of the moonshine distillery that’s changing the game. Moonshine has been a staple of American ingenuity since long before the Prohibition years of 1920-1933.

Back in the day, liquor products sometimes served as a cash substitute for bartering purposes, and it’s only gotten more popular since then. Alongside the rise of bluegrass music and the tradition of passing around the family’s “apple pie jars,” moonshine became a symbol of Smoky Mountain Appalachian culture. 

Today, iconic distillers Ole Smoky carry on the traditions of moonshine distilling and spirit crafting that their ancestors began more than 100 years ago. Only, this isn’t your Grandpa’s backyard moonshine. 

The brewers behind the Gatlinburg, Tennessee, brand are making moonshine more dynamic than ever before, with a line of whiskeys, canned cocktails, and more. Check out some of the innovative products and moonshine flavors:
