Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine Orange

Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine Orange is a flavoured moonshine liqueur made at the Ole Smoky distillery in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Ole Smoky is a Tennessee moonshine brand rooted in the Smoky Mountains tradition of clear corn spirit, now produced under a state licence and flavoured into a broad fruit range. This orange expression sits at the higher end of the line at 35% by volume in a 500 ml bottle, carrying real sweetness over a punchy base.

The nose is fruity and full of orange, the palate showing sweet ripe oranges with vanilla, honey, cream and a caramel note rounding it out. In a drink it brings juicy orange character and sweetness with more alcoholic backbone than most fruit liqueurs, useful where an orange forward short needs body as well as flavour. The producer points to an ice cold serve lengthened with ginger ale and a slice of lime, and it folds easily into citrus led punches and highballs.
