You know what comes around each glorious October? That’s right, folks – a chance to indulge in an obscene amount of candy and, of course, the highly anticipated release from Harridan Vodka. This year, they’re taking things up a spine-chilling notch with their Paranormal Reserve: Haunted Hotel Edition.

Picture this: 350 bottles of vodka, each with a story to tell. 175 of them were given a haunting experience at the historic 1886 Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Known as “America’s most haunted hotel,” this place exudes an eerie vibe that’s perfect for a limited-edition spirit. The bottles were left to rest for a solid 30 days in none other than Norman Baker’s chilling morgue. Can you feel the shivers yet?

But let’s not stop there. The other 175 bottles found themselves at the Anderson Hotel in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. This place has a dark history, with a staggering 13 recorded deaths. Now imagine those bottles spending a month in some of the most hair-raising rooms – a closet that witnessed a guest’s tragic hanging and a room where a blood-soaked mattress still resides. Spooky, right?

What makes these bottles even more special is the painstaking detail put into their packaging. Each one is hand-numbered and comes snugly tucked inside a beautifully carved wood box crafted by a local New York woodworker. And that’s not all; you’ll also find accessories from the hotel where it rested – a keychain, hotel pad, and pen – adding a touch of authenticity. Oh, and let’s not forget the gloves. Yes, you read that right – gloves for safe handling. Because when it comes to this vodka, things are about to get real.

Now, if you’re starting to get a sense of déjà vu, it’s because Harridan has a knack for delivering spine-tingling experiences. Last year, they outdid themselves by releasing 666 bottles that had spent 30 days at the Occult Museum in Monroe, Connecticut. You know, the place that houses the notorious Annabelle doll. And the year before that? They partnered with some of America’s most haunted locations – the Villisca Axe Murder House, the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, and the Farm on Round Top Road, which inspired the bone-chilling movie, The Conjuring. They’re really committed to this eerie theme, aren’t they?

Now, mark your calendars, my brave souls, because the new Haunted Hotel Edition will be going live on the morning of October 13. And what’s more fitting than releasing it on Friday the 13th? So, take a swig if you dare. Or, if you need a little liquid courage for your next Dirty Martini, this is the perfect spooky companion. Harridan Vodka has once again managed to capture the essence of Halloween with their bone-chilling releases. Cheers to a hauntingly good time!
