The Gatlinburg, Tenn., distillery began selling a limited edition “Friends of the Smokies Blackberry Moonshine” in November. A portion of the proceeds made up the donation.
Friends of the Smokies is a non-profit organization that assists the National Park Service to preserve and protect the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
“We are committed to helping our neighbors in East Tennessee and are thrilled that so many Ole Smoky fans purchased our commemorative ‘Friends of the Smokies’ Blackberry Moonshine. We will continue to support this important effort throughout the year and look forward to welcoming back millions of Great Smoky Mountain visitors in 2021,” said Robert Hall, CEO, Ole Smoky Distillery.
