Pittsburgh whiskey aficionado strives to give back

Chandler Carranza wouldn’t call himself Pittsburgh’s whiskey ambassador, but his experience working in the liquor industry has equipped him with a wealth of knowledge on the subject.

Carranza works as the manager of control states for Ole Smoky Distillery, representing the brand, managing marketing programs and working with businesses in 15 states. According to Carranza, “a drink is a great way to have a shared experience with people.”

In addition to his work, Carranza is giving back to his community. He coaches middle school wrestling teams and is currently running for Man of the Year through the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
