Featured Spirits

Revolution Rye

Whiskey

Our most awarded spirit, our rye is carefully fermented from local and organic rye. It is earthy and peppery with hints of walnut, berry and tropical spice, and the chocolate malted rye lends a cocoa richness and finish.

Burnt Rock Bourbon

Whiskey

Head Distiller Al Hilton had the idea to smoke barley over maple wood and add it to a bourbon mash. The result is this popular and unique bourbon, exploding with flavor, spice, and a touch of smoke.

What Makes Our Spirits Different

Mad River Distillers ferments, distills and bottles all of its spirits in Vermont from local and fair trade ingredients. We specialize in apple brandy, whiskey and “whiskey drinker’s rums!” Our rums are made from 100% demerara sugar, not molasses. They are aged in NEW oak and NEVER back sweetened. Our whiskey mashbills contain unique grains, including oats, chocolate rye and maple-wood smoked barley. Our seasonal apple brandy is aged in new oak for an American spin on a European classic.
