✈️ WF083 to Vermont: VERMONT SPIRITS - The Fascinating Things You Can Do With Maple
Monday, 12 January, 2026
Vermont Spirits (Quechee, VT) WF083 While reaching out to distilleries across the country for my new book Whiskey Lore's Travel Guide to Experiencing American Whiskey, quite a few caught my ear in terms of the techniques they were using to make spirits. Vermont Spirits was one of the few that caught my ear because of something other than whiskey. Yes, they make a Maple-infused Bourbon, but it was their distillation of maple syrup for their vodka and gin that fascinated me. The natural inclination would be to make rum. So, what is it that pushed Vermont Spirits to construct a distillery to focus on distilling vodka? We'll also dive into their Bourbon and barrel-aged gin that could easily pass for a rye whiskey. Join me as we visit the last of our New England distilleries on this amazing Great 48 Tour. Cheers and slainte mhath, Drew
