I recall when I was at the bottle shop buying this, the shopkeeper said this is a good one. I’m sure he says that about everything, but he certainly wasn’t wrong.

I don’t typically like Liqueurs as much as regular spirits, but the combination of mango and habanero was too interesting to pass up. That, and it was on sale. I’ve obviously been buying random spirits to review for this blog after all.

Description

Ole Smoky Gatlinburg Tennessee Mango Habanero Spirited Liqueur is a unique and exciting alcoholic beverage that combines the sweetness of ripe mangoes with the fiery kick of habanero peppers. Produced by Ole Smoky Distillery, this liqueur embodies the spirit of Tennessee with a flavour profile that is both tropical and spicy.

Flavour Profile

Here’s how I would describe its attributes.

Mango Sweetness

The primary flavour is derived from natural mangoes, which provide a sweet, juicy, and tropical base.

This sweetness is refreshing and can remind drinkers of summer or vacation vibes.

Habanero Heat

Complementing the sweet mango is the heat from habanero peppers. The spiciness is bold but well-balanced, adding a layer of complexity without overwhelming the palate.

Smooth Finish

The liqueur has a smooth mouthfeel that makes it easy to sip or mix.

The finish is warming, thanks to the habanero, which lingers pleasantly on the tongue.

Summary

If you are looking for something exciting and different to drink and don’t mind some heat, Ole Smoky Gatlinburg Tennessee Mango Habanero Spirited Liqueur is a fun one to try out.
