Ripe summer strawberries in a jar, with a smooth Tennessee moonshine kick.
What it is
Ole Smoky Strawberry Moonshine is a strawberry-flavored moonshine bottled at 65 proof (32.5% ABV). Bright red and fruit-forward, it tastes like fresh berries and strawberry jam layered over the distillery's corn-based moonshine. Ole Smoky Distillery opened in 2010 in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, at the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains, and helped bring legal, small-batch moonshine to a wide audience. The mid-range proof gives it enough character to stand up in cocktails while staying easy to sip over ice.
