Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Taste Notes

- Nose: A strong scent of vinegar, dill, and garlic, followed by the sharp, clean aroma of grain moonshine.

- Snacking: Enjoyed straight from the jar for those who love extreme savory and boozy flavors.

About the brand
Ole Smoky Moonshine is the leading distiller of premium moonshine in the world and the first federally licensed distillery in the history of East Tennessee. While primarily known for their liquid spirits, they are also famous for their "Moonshine Foods" line. These products involve soaking whole fruits or vegetables—like pickles, cherries, and peaches—directly in their high-proof moonshine. The pickles are one of their most popular non-beverage items, combining traditional Appalachian preserving techniques with their signature spirit.
