Ole Smoky Blue Flame Moonshine

Basic Info & Specs

• Name: Ole Smoky Blue Flame Moonshine

• Proof / ABV: 128 proof, which corresponds to 64.0% ABV

• Availability: Nationally (bars, restaurants, liquor stores) per Ole Smoky’s product page.

Flavor & Tasting Notes

From reviews and product descriptions:

• On the nose: yeasty corn, ground pepper, light floral or apple blossom hints

• Taste / palate: starts somewhat sweet (corn, vanilla, sugar cane), but backed by strong peppery heat and spice

• Finish: the heat and spice dominate with a dry, peppery finish

• One reviewer gave it 83 points in a shorter-form review.

Because it’s 128 proof, it’s very high‑strength, so the “heat” or burn is expected and part of its character.

Interesting / Notable Facts & Observations

• The name “Blue Flame” is derived from the idea that if you light the spirit, it burns a blue flame — a visual cue of high purity and proof.

• Distiller’s “sugar wash” method: it’s made by taking leftover corn mash (from corn whiskey production), adding sugar, fermenting again, and then distilling.

• Because of its very high proof, it’s sometimes substituted in cocktails in place of overproof rum.

• It is “jarred” (i.e. packaged in a jar) rather than bottled conventionally, like many moonshine‑style spirits.

• Community / user impressions vary. Some call it “jet fuel” or extremely strong; others appreciate that it’s smooth for its proof.

• There are “aged” experiments: Someone aged a barrel of Blue Flame for 5 years and reported notes of leather, molasses, oak, dark chocolate,
