Smugglers' Notch Distillery

We had so much fun at this distillery. I’m terrible with names, I know he is a teacher/professor, but he was so kind. He spent a lot of time talking about all of the different selections and their unique taste. Shared some laughs and left with a bottle of 126. Did not expect an experience like that in Vermont, but we had a good afternoon there. Not to mention the bourbon is surprisingly delicious. I wished I could take a couple bottles home.

Not too sure what to say about their pricing… USD 10 for a tasting of just one single barrel whisky, matured over three different times (from 2.5 to 5.4 yrs.) plus one other product of theirs… The guy behind the desk seemed not too interested in making us buy. So we didn’t.

First time visiting Vermont and this place was the best to enjoy Beatiful weather and an amazing view outdoors. The prices were amazing and quality of drinks were 10/10. Connor was very helpful with explaining each drink and being welcoming to a visitor like myself.

If you aren’t skiing and looking for something tasty to experience, then I’d suggest a tasting tour of Smugglers’ Notch Distillery! If the clear stuff (vodka and gin) are your thing - no issues. If you like your spirits a little darker then SND has you covered! The bourbon tasting tour is informative, engaging and tasty. There is much to sample and the store has something for you! Whether it is a finely crafted spirit, a Smugglers’ Mule (ready made), distillery barrels or even skate decks - then you need not worry! Kudos! Well done!

Nice new location. Great spirits, especially the Vodka. They have a new grapefruit vodka my wife loves. The barrel aged maple syrup is a classic Vermont way to end a tasting. Loved it, too. The woman giving the samples did so with professionalism. Se had an enthusiasm for the product that shone through, despite giving the same talk countless times.

We really enjoyed our visit and tasties. The young lady working was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. She gave us options that made our trip there on motorcycles easier to get product and she even let us know one of the best places to eat. Will definitely get online and visit again when we come from midcoast Maine!

I've been to the other location at Stowe, but this one is so much fun!! Connor is AWESOME! I go to Smugglers Notch once a year and I can't wait to include the distillery again as well. Thank you guys for making a top Notch vodka, seriously impressed as a seasoned fan. p.s. please use the upstairs as seating room!! there are WAY too many outlets in there!

My daughter and I taste tested the various alcohol that they distill as well as the yummy pickles and syrup. We love the Maple Bourbon Whiskey pickles.
