Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine

The best packaging design I've seen in years; with thanks to Glen.

"...Our Scots-Irish ancestors brought their knowledge and skills of whiskey-making with them as they came to Appalachia. Conditions in the area were good for growing corn, but it didn’t take long to realize a lot more money could be made off of a gallon of corn liquor than a bushel. Once the law began cracking down on the industry, the nature of our people and the rugged mountain terrain made way for the hay day of bootlegging..."

Excellent packaging, looks very authentic! Reminds me of a great doc about Popcorn Sutton, a old time Tennessee moonshiner...

Do you reckon the word ole comes from Ulster Scots as it something we would say a lot in Larne
