Ole Smokey Moonshine Whiskey
Unaged corn whiskey, sold straight from a Long Island counter.
The story behind Ole Smokey Moonshine
Moonshine is unaged corn whiskey, clear because it never touches a barrel. The style comes out of the rural South, where corn sugar and water were fermented and run through small stills, and where the proof ran high because high proof travels better than a barrel does. Ole Smokey Moonshine sits in that tradition: a corn base, no oak, and a jar rather than a bottle in spirit if not in glass.
We have poured and sold this style for years, and we tell people the same thing every time. It is not bourbon and it is not trying to be. Expect sweet corn on the nose, a warm and slightly rough middle, and a clean finish that leaves your mouth ready for the next sip. The flavored expressions soften that edge without hiding it.

Which Ole Smokey Moonshine is right for you?
All three expressions land at $24.99 for a 750mL, which is the right kind of money for a spirit you mix more often than you sip. Original Corn is the reference bottle and the one to buy first. Strawberry is the crowd bottle, and White Lightnin' 100 is for anyone who wants the proof turned up. At that price, take two and keep one cold.
Neutral corn sweetness that takes citrus, soda or tea without fighting back.
Drinks like a dessert pour over ice, no extra sugar needed.
Higher octane for punches and anyone who finds the standard too soft.
