Smugglers' Notch Distillery & Vermont Distillers Tasting Room

Lots of great local options and the gentleman serving us the sample definitely knew his product and extremely friendly.

It was fun tasting the alcohol. I did end up getting a bottle of bourbon. People may think it's duper expensive but the quality of their alcohol is top notch. It's goes down smooth. The balance of alcohol to flavor of the maple was amazing. I can't wait to crack open the bottle when I return to Maryland!

I can’t believe how delicious these products are. We bought some maple syrup aged in bourbon barrels and their pommeau.

We enjoyed a tasting yesterday, and I especially liked the maple liqueurs. We were able to get one big bottle of rum, and then lots of tiny bottles to use while on our road trip (at the Airbnbs of course, not in the car). The person behind the counter doing the tasting was very knowledgeable about the products, and very nice.

Well I can’t think of any reason not to stop in while walking down Church St. You can get four little sips for just $5. That seems like a good deal to me. They have lots of choices from two different distilleries and the shop sells big and small bottles as well as accessories like flasks, glasses, etc. Try the maple gin and the Vermont honey bourbon. Both pretty unique and interesting.

Kind staff and they do 5$ liquor tastings

What a great pit-stop for the girls while the guys visited a store down the street! Located in the middle of a major shopping area, this is everyone’s dream to have a tasting room next to clothing and candy stores! We tasted local booze like vodka, gin, whiskey and others. The guy who poured our tastes was very nice and knowledgeable. There was room for two parties to taste at a time and they had little local gift items and items that pair with drinks. It was a tiny but cute little stop. We were flying home so we couldn’t buy bottles to take on the plane, but my friend bought several bottles to be shipped which was a nice option for travelers. Stop here if you get a chance!

Fun time tasting local spirits!

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.

During our CT->NH->VT->NY trip, we actually made two separate trips to the tasting room. Of course, we went home with three of our favorites (Maple Cream, Maple, & Blueberry). Plus, a jar of tipsy pickles. Next time, we will take more home on the first trip but definitely worth going back to try more flavors. Very tasty options for $5! Great product.

Stopped by quickly to try out their spirits. Staff was knowledgable, vodka was delicious and a fun experience. Should swing through and check them out!

Compact retail and tasting space showcasing smugglers' notch award winning spirits.Helpful staff will guide you through an expansive variety of offerings.

Went in not really interested in purchasing anything. Left 20 minutes later after spending $230 on assorted liquors. Great booze and a good sales rep will do that.
