Have You Enjoyed a Tour of the Crystal Ridge Distillery, yet?!
Danny Bradley, Owner, President and CEO of Crystal Ridge Distillery, grew up in the shadows of the Ouachita Mountains; specifically, a sub-range called the Crystal Mountains. The quartz in those mountains is of such quality that the small town of Mt. Ida, a short drive from Hot Springs, is known as the “Quartz Capital” of the United States.
Like most boys in rural Arkansas, Danny grew up hunting, fishing, playing sports and ranging in those mountains. Following a stint with the United States Air Force, Danny returned to Arkansas and attended college at Henderson State, where he took a degrees in Health and Physics. Under internship, he taught P.E. and coached football at Lakeside High School and then taught Agriculture and was a FFA sponsor at Magnet Cove High School, just south of Hot Springs in Malvern.
Believing in the need to instill local youth with job skills and work ethic, Danny was also an Instructor at the Arkansas Career Training Institute in Hot Springs where he taught Construction Technology. In his spare time, Danny fished competitively in professional bass tournaments on Lake Ouachita and other regionally located lakes.

Mary Bradley, Owner, VP and Chief Financial Officer at Crystal Ridge Distillery also oversees regulatory compliance. As product quality and safety is of utmost concern, having majored and taken degrees in Chemistry and Math, Mary is well suited to manage compliance. In her “other life,” Mary is a Clinical Trial Research Monitor and is currently studying the applicability of an existing pneumonia vaccine for use against Covid-19. Mary and Danny work well together, which is good, as they are married.
