Ole Smoky is an American craft distillery founded in 2010 in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, nestled in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains. A landmark in American spirits history, it became the first federally licensed distillery in East Tennessee, proudly rooting its identity in the Appalachian moonshine tradition. The distillery draws inspiration from the region's earliest settlers — mountain families who produced corn whiskey with enduring pride across generations, using recipes that date back over a century. Ole Smoky has grown into one of the largest craft distillers in the United States, boasting a diverse portfolio of over 25 expressions. While moonshine remains at the core of its identity, the brand has expanded into American whiskey, offering a wide range of flavored and traditional styles that reflect the bold, spirited character of the Smoky Mountains. The extensive flavor lineup makes Ole Smoky an accessible and versatile choice, equally at home sipped straight or used as a creative cocktail ingredient. Ole Smoky's rise has been nothing short of remarkable. By 2021, the distillery had sold over one million 9-liter cases, cementing its status as America's most visited distillery and the most visited distillery in the entire world. From a small Appalachian operation to a globally recognized brand, Ole Smoky stands as a true icon of modern American craft spirits.
