Honoring Tradition

Moonshine isn't just a drink; it's a significant part of American culture and heritage, particularly in Tennessee. Ole Smoky created National Moonshine Week to celebrate this legacy, honoring the craft and community that have kept moonshine thriving for generations. The week coincides with National Moonshine Day on June 5, making it a perfect opportunity to raise a glass and toast the rich history behind this beloved spirit.

"National Moonshine Week is about honoring our roots and appreciating the craft of moonshine," stated Stephanie Moraine, marketing director at Ole Smoky Distillery. "Whatever your way of celebrating—whether at a bar, at home, or with us in Nashville—make it count with Ole Smoky!" The brand invites everyone to embrace the spirit in their own unique way, be it with a jar of White Lightnin' lemonade enjoyed on the porch or joining in the celebrations in Tennessee.
