flavor?? Hubby will probably like that one. The flavored ones I like better.

So far, I have been to Tennessee, Doc Collier, Sugarlands, Old Forge, Smith Creek (only one we didn't buy anything at).

I sound like an alkie! But pretty much the Old Forge Coffee is for me and all the rest I have bought for family and friends. I might be keeping Tennessee in the black!! haha!

The white, or clear, is called White Lightening". The dark, or chard, is called well....chard. I do not know what they call the in the distillers though.

Peppermint Moonshine is one of my all time favs at Ole Smoky.

You can order and have it delivered to your home, also, in case you want to know that. Haha. May depend on your state laws, though.

Seriously, I'm in Middle Tn and what we drink here skips the distillery!

It is beautiful up there. Unfortunately, rebuilding from last years fires are still on-going, but shouldn't distract from the fun!

These mountains are beautiful and a wonder of nature.

I am thoroughly enjoying myself and the views. It is a perfect vacation for me.

I'm sure you know, but those mountains have over 100 varieties of native trees. And, the wildlife! Hope you get to see some in their natural habitats.

I'm so glad it's great, and come see us again!
