East Tennessee Craft Spirits

Smoky Mountain Reserve

Premium small-batch whiskey born in the oldest mountains in America. Crafted where the mist meets the ridgeline.

"Every distillery in the Smokies chased moonshine. We chose to wait. To age. To earn the word Reserve."
The Smoky Mountain Reserve Philosophy
01

Mountain Water

Filtered through ancient limestone and sandstone for millennia. The same water that carved the Great Smoky Mountains gives our whiskey its distinctive mineral character and impossible softness.

02

Local Grain

Tennessee-grown corn, rye, and barley sourced from farms within sight of the mountains. Every grain tells the story of the soil it grew in. We don't import character.

03

Elevation Aging

Our barrels breathe mountain air. The dramatic temperature swings of the Appalachian foothills drive deeper barrel interaction, extracting complex caramel, vanilla, and oak that flatland distillers can only envy.

The Opportunity

The Smokies deserve a whiskey as grand as the mountains

Twelve million people visit the Great Smoky Mountains every year. They find moonshine on every corner. What they don't find is a Tennessee whiskey that matches the grandeur of what they came to see.

Smoky Mountain Reserve exists to fill that gap. Premium. Patient. Unapologetically bold.
