Is this the most scenic spot in southern Vermont to stop in for a drink or make a liquor purchase?…read more I think so! You've got breathtaking views out the window or sitting in the yard behind the store. There's even a few more breathtaking views looking across the street from the parking lot. I was going to say location is everything, but then there's the liquor. You're allowed 4 complimentary tastes. These are not large, maybe thimble sized, but you definitely get an idea of the flavors. I came here specifically for the maple whiskies (well, it IS Vermont), but I also enjoyed the cherry liqueur, something I definitely wanted for my liquor cabinet as well. I didn't purchase any of their crafted cocktails, but other customers in the store while I was there did, and they were obviously satisfied. Obviously the products here are elevated in both taste and height above sea level.

This is a must stop for those who visiting distilleries and those who enjoy cocktails. When you…read morestep inside the friendly staff welcome you, ask if you have been in before. They then let you know you can sample 4 different spirits, my wife and I declined on this part only due to the fact we stopped at the nearby brewery first. We went right into picking our cocktails. Next time we definitely would do the sampling. Cocktail wise their current menu was broken into three different sections, those being Vodka, Bourbon, and lastly moonshine. An extra category on the bottom did include two mocktails as well. I thought the cocktails were extremely reasonable either being $11 or $13. I got their peach smash which was a really good drink utilizing their honey bourbon and peach liqueur which was balanced so well! My wife got their French martini that utilized their vodka and raspberry liqueur and came in a frosted glass. We loved both of the drinks and even though my wife typically is not a bourbon fan she liked mine. While we enjoyed our drinks inside and appreciated the atmosphere of the inside including the decor the true view is outside. Enjoy your cocktail while taking in the view, you can be on the patio or at a table or chair at the overlook. Can snap some amazing photos that's for sure! To sum it up, friendly and welcoming staff who make delicious cocktails with a great setting inside and out!

We found Copper Cannon Distillery on our way back to Boston after a ski weekend at Mount Snow…read more They've only been open about a year, but you can tell they are going to be very successful! Copper Cannon is a small distillery located just off the road. Their tasting room can hold about 8 people or so at the bar. Tours & tastings are $5, which is definitely worth it! They produce small batch, high quality liquors like different types of rum mostly, but also made potato vodka and tequila too. We ended up going home with a bottle of the maple rum - though the spiced was one of our favorites. They make their own maple syrup too which was included in the tasting - delicious! Really impressed by the overall branding of the space and liquor bottles. The tour of the small production space about 15 minutes long. The tour guide did a great job explaining the process. They are going to launch a bourbon this year - really excited to try that the next time we are in the area! This place is definitely worth your time (and money). Great people making some great beverages.

Saxtons distillery and tasting room are such a gem in Brattleboro…read more We were spending this Monday afternoon in town and stopped for a tasting. Christian greeted us nicely and recommended certain ways of doing tastings and specs of each. He chatted while making bar menu cocktails for other guests. We each selected a regular flight and a reserve flight to try all their spirit options that we thought interesting. I can't say enough about how very impressed I am with the quality of the bourbons produced here. The double barrel bourbon, a maple bourbon and & a maple rye were all excellent choices on the regular flight menu. I also appreciated Perk coffee liqueur & the flavors and complexity of the Snowdrop gin. ($5 flight) On the reserve flight, friends chose the 15 year angel bourbon, 12 year rye reserve, aged snowdrop gin, and the vineyard rye full strength. ($12 flight) Really can't say enough about the quality that is offered here! Plus the facilities are inviting and I'd enjoy a day on the patio or to hear some music some afternoon, it's a great spot. I highly recommend a stop and purchase here! Cheers.

To me, there's something special about a visit to Yankee Distillers. There's a sense of "We know…read morewhat we want to do, and we're gonna do it!" here that I haven't gotten from many other distilleries. Being off the beaten path, it's not someplace that will get a lot of casual drive by's - they get the people who want to come here. I wasn't sure what would be of interest to me here. After the tastings, I was very pleasantly surprised to find it would be their vodka! I'm not normally a vodka person, but there is a very short list of distilleries that make a vodka I can actually sip, and I just added their Eleven Lakes Vodka to that list, most likely right at the top. Finishing a very close second was their Rye. By the way, the ingredients for these come 100% from New York State. And with so many distilleries in NY shortening their aging, I appreciated that all their whiskies age a minimum of 6.5 years. The people here definitely love their craft and appreciate conversation with folk who have an understanding of distilling. If, of course, you can make it past the very effective guard dogs, Basil and Barley - though it's not so much they're protecting the place, just making sure they get their much deserved attention from you before, during, and after, your drinks. There's almost always something new going on here; when we arrived today's list had just been freshly laminated. Visit often.

This review will be short and sweet…read more The Yankee Distillery is making their own booze on site and serving it at a simple bar as soon as you walk in. They are going the extra mile by making authentic mixers made with real ingredients. Take one look at the container of bloody mary mix on the bar and you will see what I mean. I ordered the Manhattan and it was fabulous. Every sip was perfection. The owner is a very warm and happy fella who clearly loves his business. The other draw at Yankee is the team of pugs that meet you on arrival. They look like loaves of bread with smooshy faces connected. One will sit on your lap with out any coaxing! This is a happy place serving happy things. The bottles of booze are a bit pricey but the drinks are reasonable. Definitely get out and enjoy one soon!

The ambiance was like being at a local pub. Everyone was friendly! They sell their liquor as well as supplies to make craft cocktails at home, including bittersweet, syrups and more. Highly recommend!

They are being very COVID conscious, with the staff wearing masks and social distancing enforced. You are able to do tastings of all of their spirits, including various flavors of moonshine, whiskey, gin, limoncello, and my personal favorite, Cowboy Coffee, which is a coffee liquor which can be enjoyed on the rocks or mixed with coffee or creamer. In the summer, they had a very nice outdoor area where you could sit and enjoy one of the mixed drinks available for sale. There's a great view of the hillside as well which makes for some really nice photos. And of course, all of the spirits are available for purchase. I returned recently to pick up a few more bottles of the Cowboy Coffee and Limoncello. Overall a nice spot to spend an afternoon in nice weather, or to stop and grab some great spirits!

This place is one of the best all-time stumbled upon surprises I have ever found!…read more The distillery is an absolute work of art, with its barrel heads lined around the walls and overall design that is somewhere between a castle-like interior and an ultimate treehouse fortress. Their Apple Jack brandies are something special, which is partially why I returned to this place after 2-3 years having last gone by it. However, their farm stand delicacies (apple cider donuts, apple blossoms & more) were the other. So good! Plus, their Southern BBQ food is just plain great! Got the pulled pork sandwich and grilled cheese w/bacon & mushrooms, with sides mac-n-cheese, apple cidered collards, smoked beans and pickles. Took them to go, and 3.5 hours later enjoyed them all immensely! Legit southern BBQ food! Truly down home comfort food!

The quirky, funny artwork on them added a lot of character. I tried a flight of their spirits (three total: the bourbon, single malt, and small-batch applejack--about a shot of each), and my wife had a cocktail. Each of the whiskies was decent but very light. The bourbon was a bit smoother than the single malt. The applejack was okay, but not something I'd typically go for. We also tried their homemade hard cider. I'm not usually a cider drinker, and this one wasn't especially memorable--it was sharp and a bit dry, but lacked the sweetness I've enjoyed in other ciders.
