All the comfort of a Southern banana pudding, spiked and ready to pour.
What it is
This is Ole Smoky's Banana Pudding Cream, a creamy moonshine-based liqueur bottled at 35 proof (17.5% ABV). It layers ripe banana, vanilla wafer cookie and whipped cream flavors over the distillery's smooth moonshine for a dessert-in-a-glass experience. 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 lower proof makes it an easy, mellow sipper that works well on its own or in dessert cocktails.
