Ole Smoky Moonshine Distillery is a family-owned beverage manufacturer based in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. It traces its roots to East Tennessee farms, where corn is grown and milled locally before being transformed into clear corn liquor at the distillery. As the first federally licensed distillery in East Tennessee, it produces moonshine using traditional regional recipes and operates its own production and distribution hubs at The Holler in Gatlinburg and The Ole Smoky Barn at The Island in Pigeon Forge. The brand offers thirteen moonshine flavors for national distribution, with varieties ranging from Original Moonshine and White Lightnin' at 100 proof to 80 proof, and a 40 proof line including Moonshine Cherries and Peach Moonshine, all based on Tennessee family recipes. These products are available in all 50 states and Canada and are sold through local retailers and at major events, reflecting a business model focused on broad retail reach and experiential sales. In 2026, the company expanded its footprint with a new Myrtle Beach, South Carolina location, indicating ongoing geographic growth beyond its Tennessee origins.
