Monshine is the term given to whiskey clandestinely distilled in America during the Prohibition years. It was manufactured during the night, hence the name "moonshine", to evade police checks and prevent the columns of smoke that rose into the sky during distillation from being noticed. This illegal spirit was essentially produced in the woods of Tennessee using corn pulp as the main ingredient. Ole Smoky pays homage to this incredible American history by presenting its moonshine in cute glass jars reminiscent of the first containers used by illegal distillers.
The distillery is run by a family originally from the Appalachian Mountains who have been producing their own moonshine illegally for over 100 years. Relocating as soon as the state of Tennessee allowed the opening of suitable distillation facilities, Ole Smoky Moonshine became the state's first legal producer. The company is located at the foot of the Smoky Mountains in Gatlinburg and the master distillers use only local ingredients and 100% pure fruit juice.
A jar with small cherry bombs inside. A delicious marriage between Marasca cherries and 100 proof Moonshine Original. culminating in an explosion of sweet heat in each perfectly infused fruit. Once the cherries are finished, all that remains is to taste the sweet and persistent nectar left inside.
