Loaded Cannon Carlota's Revenge is a straight malt whiskey crafted at 80 proof from at least 51% malted barley, aged two years in charred oak barrels at Florida's Loaded Cannon Distillery. This copper-kissed spirit embodies the rebellious spirit of the Golden Age of Pyracy with uncommonly smooth refinement. Born from the sun-soaked shores of Lakewood Ranch, Florida, Loaded Cannon Distillery draws inspiration from the legendary pirates who once roamed these coastal waters between 1650-1720. Master distillers honor this maritime heritage through meticulous craft, distilling premium malted barley with corn as a supporting grain, then aging the spirit in charred American oak to develop its distinctive character.

Is this whiskey good for beginners?

What is the story behind Carlota's Revenge?
