Ole Smoky Distillery, LLC operates in the beverage manufacturing sector and is based in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Founded in 2010, the company traces its roots to Appalachian moonshine traditions and is described as a leading producer of premium moonshine, including flavored whiskeys, with East Tennessee’s first federally licensed distillery status noted in its history. In 2026, Ole Smoky expanded its footprint with a new distillery and brewery experience in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, at Broadway at the Beach, with a grand opening scheduled for May 20, 2026. That year also involved a leadership transition, with Michael Novy named incoming CEO to assume the role in August 2026, following the retirement of Robert Hall. Media coverage has described Ole Smoky as America’s most visited distillery.
