Name: Ole Smokey White Lighting Moonshine
Color: Clear
Nose: Rubbing alcohol
Taste: Alcohol and orange liquor
Ole Smokey White Lighting Moonshine is a clear whiskey in a moonshine style from Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The distillery was founded in 2010 and they state they have a “100-year-old family receipt” to make this corn-based spirit. I wonder if it tasted like shit a 100 years ago or this is a better version.
The nose is impossible for me to detect any specific notes. The taste is ok compared to the nose, but it’s far too harsh at 50% abv. I have seen this stuff on the shelf for years but never wanted to spend the money on jar. Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover. I tried clear alcohol once many years ago and my mouth was on fire on each sip.
Priced around $30 and set my mouth on fire, again. You could use it to spike a punch bowl, but I would not recommend doing that.
