Smugglers' Notch Distillery

Really nice distillery with excellent and wide selection. The vodka was delicious, and I enjoyed the maple creme liqueur.

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.

We were staying at Sterling Ridge Resort nearby and provided us a pair of Free Tasting coupons. I had heard a lot of great things about SND before, and wow, it lived up to the hype! I did the regular tasting (4 of your choice) and the Bourbon tasting (3 small batches and their Special Reserve) and there was not a bad one in the bunch. Masterfully crafted. The employee who introduced us to each spirit was polite, knowledgeable, friendly, and had a great sense of humor. We weren't intending to buy a bottle of anything, and we walked away with 3: The Moroccan Rose + Grapefruit Vodka, the Maple Cream Liquor, and the Bourbon Small Batch #142. There are no tours (state law), but I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

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.

Conner was excellent. We are staying at Smugglers Notch. There were a lot of people there, Conner took his time to explain to us all of the vodkas, gins, bourbons and the syrups. We did enjoy a few gins and vodkas. We appreciated the service and welcoming atmosphere. Thank you. Walter R Fairbanks.

We were here in 2020 & absolutely loved everything, just ordered the Stowe Sparkle, taking it to our annual friends Christmas dinner....looks luscious. Had to get a cute pic since it was snowing in PA...the reindeer onesie is key

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!

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.
