Ole Smoky Salty Caramel Whiskey
Ole Smoky Salty Caramel Whiskey is dessert in a bottle: smooth Tennessee whiskey blended with rich, buttery caramel and a touch of savory sea salt, bottled at 60 proof (30% ABV) in a 750mL bottle. Made in Gatlinburg, Tennessee by Ole Smoky — Tennessee's first licensed distillery, founded in 2010 — it tastes like liquid caramel with just a hint of salt on the finish.

Smoky Mountain Candy
Ole Smoky built its name on moonshine, but its flavored whiskeys are what fill the gift shops of Gatlinburg — and Salty Caramel is the crowd-pleaser. The formula is simple and dangerously drinkable: mellow whiskey, natural caramel flavor, and enough sea salt to keep the sweetness in check. At 60 proof it pours like a liqueur and drinks like a candy bar, which is exactly why it disappears at parties. For fans of flavored whiskey, this is the sweet-and-salty benchmark.
Tasting Notes
The nose is all sweet caramel and warm vanilla with soft whiskey underneath. The palate is creamy and rich — liquid caramel with a whisper of sea salt and subtle whiskey spice. The finish is smooth and lingering, sweetness tapering into a gentle salted note.
How to Enjoy
Serve neat, chilled, or over ice as a dessert pour. It transforms hot coffee and hot chocolate, blends into boozy milkshakes, and drizzles beautifully over vanilla ice cream. Try a Salty Caramel Old Fashioned (ease off the simple syrup) or pair with hot apple cider in fall. No refrigeration needed — room temperature is fine.
