Gatlinburg business to sell mountain whiskey

A Gatlinburg businessman says he’ll be selling genuine mountain whiskey at a new store next month.
Joe Baker, owner of Ole Smoky Distillery, says he’ll be offering jars full of unaged corn whiskey in different variations including apple pie and peach. The store will sell moonshine cherries too.
He told a Knoxville TV station that it’s “100 proof... true mountain whiskey.’’
Baker said a new Tennessee law allowing the distillation of spirits helped him start his business, with the opening planned for July 2 on the resort town’s main parkway inside the Ole Smoky Moonshine Holler.
