The new Tasting Shack is slinging whiskey at Vermont’s luxury slopeside community
Vermont Business Magazine WhistlePig Whiskey has officially opened the WhistlePig Tasting Shack at the base of Stowe Mountain Resort, within Spruce Peak, Vermont’s luxury slopeside community. Building on the wildly successful WhistlePig Pavilion, New England’s premier après ski destination, the WhistlePig Tasting Shack adds a much-anticipated tasting and retail experience to this already popular slopeside destination.
The WhistlePig Tasting Shack, a tiny home turned world-class tasting room, residing adjacent to the WhistlePig Pavilion, offers tastes of WhistlePig’s most sought-after whiskeys. With walk-ins welcome, visitors can enjoy a tasting experience and purchase some of the most coveted WhistlePig bottles and limited-edition merchandise.
"The opening of the Tasting Shack gives visitors a taste of the WhistlePig distillery right here in its home state of Vermont at Spruce Peak,” said Kendal Daiger, VP of Marketing at Spruce Peak. “Our continued partnership with WhistlePig Whiskey speaks to our shared commitment to providing locals and tourists alike with the highest quality experience.”
First opened in 2018, the WhistlePig Pavilion brings a full dining experience with WhistlePig whiskey cocktails and an inspired alpine menu to resort visitors. The expansion of the partnership – opening the WhistlePig Tasting Shack in December 2023 – gives visitors an even more personalized experience with the WhistlePig brand.
“The WhistlePig Tasting Shack provides new ways for the slopeside community to enjoy a taste of the WhistlePig Farm without taking away from their time on the slopes,” said Alexandra Short, Vice President of Marketing at WhistlePig Whiskey. “We live and breathe Vermont, so bringing our award-winning whiskeys mountainside was a no-brainer.”
WhistlePig Whiskey’s Tasting Shack is open every Thursday through Sunday from 12-6:30 p.m and is located in the Village at Spruce Peak, just behind the WhistlePig Pavilion.
