Ole Smoky on Friday launched its new whiskey line and the grand opening of its new distillery, The Barrelhouse.

The Gatlinburg company, which is famous for its Tennessee Moonshines, plans to build off of the success of Davy Crockett's Tennessee Whiskey by rebranding Davy Crockett Whiskey and renovating their distillery.

"We are honored that we are able to grow a business everyone in East Tennessee knows and loves," said Joe Baker, founder of Ole Smoky Moonshine.

At the Barrelhouse, visitors will be able to see firsthand how the whiskey is made, enjoy whiskey tastings, as well as shop through Ole Smoky Whiskey's expanded collection of retail merchandise.

Ole Smoky Whiskey will be available throughout Tennessee in four flavors - straight Tennessee Whiskey, Blended Whiskey, Salty Caramel Whiskey, and Tennessee Mud.
