Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine Sour Watermelon

Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine Sour Watermelon is a flavoured moonshine liqueur from the Ole Smoky distillery in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Ole Smoky is a Tennessee moonshine brand whose clear corn spirit carries the Smoky Mountains tradition of backwoods whiskey, now made under a state licence and dressed in a long line of fruit flavours. This sour watermelon expression sits at 20% by volume in a 500 ml bottle.

The nose is sour and full of watermelon, the palate lip smacking and acidic with clear watermelon fruit over a soft run of vanilla, honey and cream. In a drink it delivers tart fruit and a sweet and sour balance in one pour, a fast route to a candied watermelon note with built in acidity. The producer suggests it neat over the rocks or as the fruity heart of a cocktail, where it pairs naturally with lime, soda and other summer ingredients.
