Crystal Ridge Distillery: The Heart of Hot Springs Spirits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Located in the historic F.C. Stearns Warehouse in downtown Hot Springs, Crystal Ridge Distillery<\/strong> is a family-owned destination that blends the rich, gritty history of Arkansas moonshining with modern craft distillation. Founded by Danny and Mary Bradley, this distillery offers a high-end experience that honors the “hidden” traditions of the Ouachita Mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

A Historic Setting: The F.C. Stearns Warehouse<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The distillery is housed in a massive, 1920s-era warehouse that once served as a hub for the local hardware trade. Today, the building maintains its original industrial charm with 18-inch thick brick walls, vintage fire doors, and massive timber rafters. At the center of it all sits “Patrick,”<\/strong> their custom 250-gallon copper and wood still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Spirits: From Mule Kick to 10x Distilled Vodka<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Crystal Ridge is dedicated to purity and flavor. Whether you prefer a traditional clear moonshine or a sophisticated bourbon, every bottle is crafted with precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gourmet Moonshine<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Crystal Ridge has revolutionized moonshine with over 14 distinct flavors. While they stay true to their roots with high-proof options, their flavored shines are designed to be enjoyed neat or as a cocktail base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Mule Kick:<\/strong> Their signature 120-proof clear moonshine. Smooth, powerful, and traditional.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Dessert Flavors:<\/strong> Banana Cream, Chocolate, Salted Caramel, and Peanut Butter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Fruit & Spice:<\/strong> Apple Pie, Peach, Strawberry, and Cinnamon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The Wildcard:<\/strong> Maple Bacon\u2014a savory-sweet favorite for unique mixers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Arkansas Vodka<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Distilled 10 times for maximum purity, their signature vodka is a “top-shelf” contender. By removing impurities like methanol, they\u2019ve created a spirit that is exceptionally smooth with a clean finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Aged Spirits<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • 2-Year Double-Banded Bourbon:<\/strong> A well-balanced bourbon featuring notes of vanilla, oak, and a hint of spice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Aged Corn Whiskey:<\/strong> A tribute to the classic “white lightning” aged to perfection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      “The Pack” Canned Cocktails<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      For those looking for convenience without sacrificing quality, “The Pack” offers ready-to-drink vodka-based cocktails. Popular flavors include the Sunrise Sipper<\/strong>, Strawberry Mojito<\/strong>, and the Spicy Melon-Rita<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
