OLE SMOKY BLUE FLAME MOONSHINE

Detailed Description
Ole Smoky is a Tennessee distillery that has impressed us with their quality moonshine and flavoured whiskey releases. This bottling kicks things up a notch however, coming in at a whopping 64% ABV, or 128 proof. This is what is known as a “sugar wash moonshine” where a corn mash, left over from corn whiskey production, has sugar added and is then fermented again and distilled. It takes its name from the fact that when lit (something we do not recommend!) it burns a vivid blue flame. The coloured glass jar also reflects this. This is a yeasty spirit, with a pastry-led nose, and slight spiciness. The palate is hot with lots of pepper, sweet cereal, bread and floral notes. The finish is punchy and short with a lot of peppery spice. This is a little hot when drunk by itself, but does offer delicious flavours. It excels when served over ice, or with a mixer. We’ve also had good results using this in place of over-proof rum in tiki cocktails! Not for the faint of heart, but this is a top-quality jar of moonshine!
Distillery Information
When Tennessee state law changed to allow the distillation of spirits, we saw an opportunity to showcase the art of superior mountain-made moonshine. Ole Smoky is the first federally liscensed distillery in the history of East Tennessee.
Like other moonshiners and bootleggers, we know it’s considered risky to tell stories of moonshine glory. The consequences of talking back in the day made it something you just didn’t do. But those days are gone, and it’s hard not to brag when you’re makin’ & sellin’ Ole Smoky Moonshine.
