We went here because we got a free spirit tasting from our airbnb and we were pleasantly surprised at the great selection they have for tasting. Definitely try the maple bourbon and maple liqueur - both were delicious! The lady at the counter pouring out drinks was very lovely, helpful, and welcoming! Keep in mind that it’s a tiny shop, you do tasting at the counter, and no seating area, but it’s so worth dropping by here.

Small distillery outlet. Tons of variety in spirits type and style. Everything is delicious, and I’m not typically a hard liquor person. The staff was incredibly friendly and super informative. I got a full detailed history on everything I tasted and the intricacies of the flavor profiles. 10/10 would return.

Fantastic little alcove of various spirits! Took a peek and Sam was very welcoming and open to talking about everything they had in store. He was super knowledgeable with just about everything. Did the sample session and took my time... but enjoyed some good conversation as well as good spirits. The maple bourbon was extremely potent with maple on the nose and tasted the same with a nice spicy finish, so if you like maple... I do recommend that. Their Smuggler's Notch rye is also very nice and more nuanced than, let's say, Bulleit Rye. The honey bourbon makes me think of a Speyside scotch. Sampling is definitely worth the $5... you should be able to get a few small sips out of each thimble-sized cup, but it's a great way to experience each drink to help you make a purchase. They sell bourbon-infused maple syrup, Glencairns, and other drinking accessories as well. If you're into any spirits, I would highly recommend a looksee!

Great selection! It is a tiny cute shop, the guy working was very nice! Tasting was reasonably priced ($5 for 4 tastings). We ended up buying the Vermont Maple Liqueur which tastes like straight maple syrup.

This is really a review of their whiskey and any place you can find it is worth the effort. It's fantastic. Both their Bourbon and especially their Rye. For anyone looking to try something new and local I highly recommend stopping in for a taste.
