Based in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, the Ole Smoky made history in 2010 when it became the first federally-licensed distillery to operate out of East Tennessee. Rather than go into the lucrative whiskey business, however, the distillery opted to pay tribute to the state’s local moonshiners by keeping their legacy alive for modern drinkers to experience and enjoy. After achieving success with their moonshines, the distillery decided to reconsider their decision to forgo whiskey production and, not long after, launched their own line whiskey offerings. One of the most recent additions to their whiskey portfolio is the Ole Smoky Peanut Butter Whiskey. Distilled from a proprietary mash bill, the whiskey spends its maturation in American white oak barrels, after which, it is then infused with flavor before being finally brought to proof and bottled.
