JT RYE
4th GENERATION
JT SMITH
JT is the son of America’s Most Wanted Moonshiner, Tim Smith. He was first introduced to the world in 2011 as he learned his family’s heritage on the show Moonshiners airing on The Discovery Channel. These days he is following in his father’s footsteps as a business man, making a name and place for himself in that family heritage that he learned about as a young boy.
JT Rye was born from a desire to introduce an old spirit to a new generation of drinkers while respecting family heritage and past generations.

Rye whiskey is making a comeback! American Rye whiskey is made from at least 51% rye. JT Rye takes that a huge step forward and is made from 95% rye mixed with 5% malted barley. Whiskey lovers will prize its bold spicy flavor. Americans are known for their zest for adventure and new experiences. JT Rye whiskey is a new taste with distinctive flavor that is one of the most unique you will ever taste.
