Smooth coffee and vanilla cream with a Smoky Mountain kick.
What it is
Ole Smoky Mountain Java is a coffee-flavored cream liqueur made with moonshine and bottled at 35 proof (17.5% ABV). It blends roasted coffee flavor, vanilla and cream for a sweet, mellow sipper that doubles as a coffee booster. 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. Its low proof and rich texture make it a natural for brunch drinks and after-dinner coffee.
