OLE SMOKY TENNESSEE MOONSHINE Corn recipe

[Likker_Head]

I like the taste of the OLE SMOKY TENNESSEE MOONSHINE Corn.



Been looking for a recipe but cant find one. Anyone have an idea on what to use?

[raketemensch]

Is that the one with the Harley branding?

Dunno. They wouldn't tell me at the distillery. But you could start out with a booners corn mash and add barley, rye and wheat until you get something you like. You can definitely do better than ole smokey!

+1.
I hope you would want to do better.

I have never tried Ole Smokey. What is it you find attractive about the product? Try and pinpoint what you are tasting.
Is it an all corn? Is it a GNP bought in bulk and packaged in the dumbed down fashion of the jar?

If it is an all corn then you should definitely try the Booners recipe. It makes for an easy protocol and many think a great product.

[Likker_Head]

Yes its an all corn taste, sweet but not like sugar sweet. Best I have tasted so far for store bought. Tried a lot too LOL
Finally got some of Tim Smith's. Not bad, has a faint taste of the same flavor on the front end but back end is all different.

I would say that the Old Smoky has wheat in it and Tim's has rye

I had a tough time choking Ole Smoky down but I've heard that the flavor profile isn't necessarily consistent...

The sample I had was tasteless rubbish compared to every UJSSM I've tried from Kiwi home distillers.

Not to pile on, I feel bad posting this, but I have to agree. As did my wife.

It sat in the cupboard until every last drop of my drinkable stock was gone.

1+ My sample is still in the cupboard.

Gran Daughter gave me a jar of this for Christmas, written on label says bottled,
says nothing about being distilled by Ole Smokey,

come along way to the UK, just to sit on the shelf, my own comes first.

I was there a couple years ago. I think I understand that they buy the part that goes with the fruit and make the white. I was not a big fan either. The mash smelled nice. Id say they have a big does of sugar and some corn for a little flavor. Cuts were horrible. Id make some UJSM or Cob with sugar. I promise yours will be better and maybe on your first try

Yep and that is what its all about!!!

[FullySilenced]

I tried three flavors of OLD SMOKEY none of em stayed down... sorry just couldn't get past the taste to make myself swallow...

But if you mix them with a bunch of strip and run them 3 times it makes a pretty good neutral...

happy stillin,

Well, I was there a few weeks ago.
Seems to me, its just UJ type mash that has been run through a reflux column and then diluted down to bottle.
The flavored stuff is pretty lo proof, I think 40.
A tourist trap playing live Bluegrass music.....carnival hucksters working the counter that have no clue , but there are folks there who DO know how to run a Likker still.
Sugarland next door was a bit better product? But that's subjective and a personal preference.
I like my own stuff much better.

[bigbone32]

You must of got a good jar. The one I bought was some nasty stuff. Like someone else said I couldn't even swallow it.

[Hillbilly Popstar]

I had some of the Oaked stuff, and I'd venture to say that any of the T&T recipes on here would be better.

[bitter]

Never tried it.. I have been thinking doing a booners but first smoking the corn in the smoker with maple or JD whiskey chips.. then follow the booners tried and true. I bet with good cut would be night and day from that.

I've tried all if their drinks and I'm not at all impressed. The flavored drinks are flavored with a syrup I believe. Nasty. I prefer Sugarland distillery if im going to drink commercial runs. They use the UJSSM recipe as their main brew.

Ask MGP, they make most of it. Even if it was really good, it is way overpriced for grain alcohol.

I did the downtown taste testing last summer. by the time I choked down a couple shots of ole smoky, I bought a case. been sitting around because it tastes like ass compared to my current stuff. I like your idea. I may redistill it. And I agree with what others have said, I think they make greedy cuts.

[cantspel]

Also noticed that they make their own jars that are 750ml....

LukeDuke: the Sugarland Apple (35%)was really good mixed with the midnight moon cherry(45%i think). The ladies were tearing it up. I wish I could find the Sugarland around here, would like to mix it up again (haven't started running my machine yet to make my own)

Ya, my favorite was the Rye Apple(Mark & Digger's recipe). The American Peach by Mark Rogers was smooth. Too smooth, like it had glycerin in it.

no such thing around my town! So far limited to what I can get around my parts... other than my own
