Adirondack distillery War Cannon Spirits in Crown Point.

In this episode of the ADK Talks podcast feature War Cannon Spirits, located in Crown Point near Lake Champlain.

Raise a dram and settle in for a spirited conversation equal to heritage, humor, and Highland flair. In this episode of ADK Talks, we journey to the northeastern edge of the Adirondacks to Crown Point, NY, near Lake Champlain, where War Cannon Spirits, a New York Farm Distillery, is rewriting the rules of craft distilling—one perfectly aged barrel at a time.

Our guests, Paul, Joel and Aidan, take us behind the stills to explore the unique blend of distilling tradition and Adirondack ingenuity at War Cannon Spirits. From grain to glass, you’ll hear what makes their small-batch spirits sing, a blend of tradition and innovation that goes beyond just the pure mountain water.

Piping in the Haggis at Burns Night.

And if your bagpipes just perked up, good. Because we’re also diving into the distillery’s upcoming Burns Night Celebration—a spirited toast to Scotland’s national poet, complete with whiskey, haggis, tartans, and maybe even a rogue kilt or two.

It's a celebration that will immerse you in the rich culture of Scotland. Whether you’re a fan of fine spirits, fascinated by Scottish lore, or want an excuse to wear plaid and toast Robert Burns in the springtime, this episode is for you.
