Ole Smoky's roots in the Smoky Mountains run deep — their ancestors were making moonshine in these hills long before it was legal. When Tennessee state law finally changed and allowed craft distilleries to operate, Ole Smoky became the state's first federally licensed distillery, opening their doors in Gatlinburg in 2010. The moonshine business hadn't always been on the right side of the law, but that heritage is exactly what makes Ole Smoky's story so authentically Appalachian.

Since those early days, Ole Smoky has grown into the most recognized name in Smoky Mountains spirits — and for good reason. They still make that kick-in-the-mouth moonshine folks have loved for over a century, but they've also continued to innovate with an extensive range of expressions: classic corn whiskey, fruit-forward flavors like Peach and Apple Pie, and the James Ownby Reserve and Popcorn Sutton lines that have earned national acclaim.

With multiple locations across the Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge corridor, Ole Smoky brings scale and accessibility to The Moonshine Crawl™. Their distilleries are designed to welcome guests at volume without sacrificing the quality of the experience — and visiting Ole Smoky gives crawl guests the full picture of how a single-location Gatlinburg distillery grew into a nationally recognized brand while staying rooted in Appalachian tradition.
