We planned to visit the West Newton Crooked Creek Distillery location but ended up in Irwin doing…read moresome shopping. Some of our friends had recently gone to Crooked Creek and talked about how awesome it was, so we decided to make time to go. When visiting, our service was great and we enjoyed everything we tried. It was nice that some of the tasting pours were the spirits by themselves, and other were like mini mixed drinks. The Blackberry Lavender Lemonade Moonshine was great on its own and even better mixed with lemonade. The Pumpkin Pie and Apple Pie Moonshines were also very good. My personal favorite out of everything we tried was the Pumpkin Pie with almond milk. It was like a dessert and is definitely an amazing fall drink. We ended up purchasing three bottles of moonshine since we could not decide on just on one. If you are doing the Laurel Highlands Pour Tour, two other places on it are in walking distance: Laurel Highlands Meadery and New Crescent Brewing.

Spent the day in the Eastern suburbs and Greensburg shopping for Holidays/Christmas, and ended up…read morein "downtown" Irwin. Some nice craft shops for my wife to wander through, my requirements were less stringent, I needed an adult beverage. Crooked Creek distillery provided the opportunity to both buy some bottled gifts and have a few drinks. I have to say despite the small storefront this was a pretty good tasting room experience, the bartender really made the experience, his knowledge of the company and the products was outstanding, and he provided sample of anything you were interested in. I wish I had taken less hits to the head in my youth, and then maybe I would remember his name. But walked away after having several samples, buying a few mixed drinks for myself and the wife to make Holiday shopping easier, and two bottles that are probably going in my stocking. Kudos to the honey whiskey, they use local honey and you can actually see when it settles in the bottle, and has an outstanding actual honey flavor.

We recently visited a veteran-owned, family-operated distillery that opened two years ago on…read moreSeptember 14, 2022. We had the pleasure of chatting with the father, Mark (if I remember correctly), whose sons and nephew are all part of running this distillery. One son is stationed in D.C., the other in Hawaii, and Mark runs the distillery with help from the nephews, only opening on Saturdays. The location itself is rich in history--Mark shared that his great-grandfather, "Pappy Joe" Blackburn, purchased the farm where the distillery now stands. Built over 100 years ago, the farm sits next to a natural spring, providing the fresh mountain water they use for their whiskey. Pappy Joe, a hard-working, blue-blooded American, loved "Old Grand-Dad" whiskey, and it's clear that the family carries on that passion today. The distillery's story began with their first batch of whiskey being crafted in a hand-built still inside their uncle's old sawmill, where the distillery is now located. The sawmill itself has been around since the early 1980s. During our visit, we sampled several whiskeys: Ridge Water - A traditional corn whiskey mash bill made with corn, malted barley, and fresh spring water. At 80 proof, it had a smooth, enjoyable taste. Stahlstown Tea Party - My personal favorite, this 60 proof whiskey is infused with Bohea tea, corn, malted barley, and spring water. It's like tasting a campfire in your mouth--smoky and rich. Ridge Fire - A corn whiskey with a bit of heat, made with malted barley and corn. Another solid offering. Parkante - A unique whiskey flavored with jalapeño, ginger, and lime, all sourced from their property. Mark warned us not to drink it straight due to its spice, but it was surprisingly balanced in cocktails. We also enjoyed two cocktails while there, and I highly recommend the Mountain Mule, made with Parkante and ginger. It was absolutely delicious! The distillery is beautifully tucked away in the mountains, with a peaceful, rustic atmosphere. One thing to note if you visit: the dirt road leading up is narrow and only allows for one-way traffic, so be mindful when making the trip. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we'll definitely be back!
