Vermont Business Magazine Smugglers’ Notch Distillery is expanding once again! In mid-November, visitors to the charming village of Stowe will be able to stroll Main Street and stop in to try Smugglers’ Notch vodkas, gins, bourbons, cream liqueurs, and barrel-aged maple syrup in their new tasting room at 112 Main St. Guests can explore how oak barrels develop complex flavors in bourbon, sample single barrel pours, and get a taste of Vermont’s Mountain Spirit on a leisurely wander about Stowe village.
Meanwhile before the Stowe grand opening, visit one of their other tasting rooms which were recently voted as one of four top tasting room experiences in the US.
A knowledgeable and friendly team creates a fun and fascinating tasting experience in the flagship Distillery Tasting Room with its post and beam structure in Jeffersonville and at satellite shops in Burlington, Manchester, and Waterbury.
The Distillery Tasting Room stands amid the Green Mountains with access to the Lamoille Valley River and Rail Trail adjacent to the site. A Visitor’s Experience Center JUST OPENED consisting of Smugglers’ Notch area and distillery history, adding another engaging feature to this unique visitors’ destination.
“This was our best year ever! SND was chosen as one of the top four Craft Vodka Distilleries in the USA, and with a recent launch, we are now sharing our award-winning vodka in ready to drink canned cocktails.
Our double gold medal winning Vermont Maple Cream Liqueur earned us a place among the top six Specialty Spirits Distilleries, and we’re so proud of our standing as the fourth Best Distillery Tasting Room in the US,” enthuses Jeremy Elliott, President and Co-founder of SND.
About Smugglers’ Notch Distillery
The alchemy of a father/son dream! That’s the magic that created Smugglers’ Notch Distillery®, founded by father and son Ron and Jeremy Elliott. In 2006, Ron, a retired business executive, and Jeremy, a research chemist in the pharmaceutical industry, teamed up to follow their collective passion to establish a distillery in the Vermont mountainside. Four tasting rooms including one in Burlington, Stowe/Waterbury, Manchester, and at the flagship store at the 10-acre distillery facility that opened in 2018 in Jeffersonville offer experiences for visitors to learn about the team’s story and process.
Since launching their Double Gold Award-Winning Vodka back in 2010, SND has grown organically and gone on to craft multiple gold and silver medal award-winning bourbons, gins, rum, rye, flavored vodka, Double Gold Winning Vermont Maple Cream Liqueur, Vermont Bourbon Maple Cream Liqueur, and, most recently, Maple Gin and two flavored canned vodka soda cocktails. Partnership with a local maple sugaring operation has been key to offering uniquely Vermont flavor profiles as well as a line of spirit barrel-aged maple syrups: bourbon, rye, and rum barrel-aged maple syrup. www.smugglersnotchdistillery.com
