Vermont's Very Own: Mad River Whiskey Dinner @ The Smoke Shop BBQ

Feautured Distiller:

Mad River Distillers is our featured Distiller at our next Whiskey Dinner. Focusing on locally sourced non-GMO ingredients, Mad River Distillers have been recognized for their spirits Their Revolution Rye (featured in our welcome cocktail) won the Gold Medal at the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America 2023 Competition, and their original Mad River Bourbon took home the Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition for 2023. This distillery is seriously impressive, showcasing their remarkable hand-crafted spirits while working with the unforgiving climate of Vermont.

Founder and Owner of Mad River Distillers, Maura Connolly, will take us through a three-flight tasting starting with our Mad River Smoke Shop Private Barrel. You will also get the chance to try their Burnt Rock Bourbon; the result of their Head Distiller Al's idea to smoke barley over maple wood and add it to a Bourbon mash. To end the tasting, you will sip on thier Double Barrel, a bourbon made with small amounts of wheat, oats and barley, and is then finished in Napa Cabernet Sauvignon barrels. Plus, you will get to try their Revolution Rye in our featured Bees Knees cocktail!
