FINE HANDCRAFTED SOUTHERN SPIRITS

At the top of my husband’s Christmas wish list are bottles of Vodka and Gin from Atlanta’s new pride and joy, Old 4th Distillery. We are both huge fans of Moscow Mules and he’s a total sucker for a really good Gin and Tonic. I wonder if SuthinGirl can squeeze a bottle or two into his stocking??

To find a bottle of O4D near you, check their website O4D.com

Old 4th Distillery was started by childhood friends Jeff and Craig Moore, and Gabe Pilato who decided to open Atlanta’s first distillery since 1906, taking a neighborhood centric sustainable approach to creating the finest spirits available at any price.

---

Every bottle of O4D is made by hand in their 1100 square foot distillery in the historic Atlanta, Georgia neighborhood, Old Fourth Ward.

Three people create the fermentations, do the distillations, bottle, and package every drop of their signature vodka and gin. Old 4th Distillery uses a custom, handmade CARL copper still.

We strive to support our community, local artists and musicians; and we are always looking for opportunities to give back to the city which has given us so much.

Ryan Akin, Founder and TJ, his first employee

Thanks to a partnership with Eutree (a local sawmill), Lightboards skateboard decks are made out of wood from forest-free Atlanta trees. This means the trees were not removed for the purpose of making a product. They were the trees that ‘got in the way.’ The ones that weren’t ‘worth’ the work of restoring. They were considered ‘unwelcome’ in their own community.

Funny thing is, they already had deep roots where they grew. They provided shade for the weary. They extended branches to all sorts of birds, even those coming from far away. So instead of casting them aside and watching them decay, Lightboards contributes to their new life as functional and artistic creations. Each skateboard is a one-of-a-kind reminder to its rider to take a look around and do the same in their place in the woods.

LIGHTBOARDS

Your purchase aids in the sustainable part-time employment of a young man living in the city.
