Carbon & Oak

Okay, this one is going to be a little different. I'd never heard of Crittenden Distillery before getting a pour of this at a bottle share, and honestly, they don't seem to have much of an online presence yet outside of Meta. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes word of mouth travels faster than searching for something you don't even know exists yet.

Few things capture a whiskey enthusiast's attention faster than a big age statement and a proof north of 140. I think that's one of the biggest reasons American Light Whiskey (ALW) has gained so much attention over the last few years.
