Product Story:
Is this the perfect “Fall” whiskey? Hard to beat the combination of two American classics, Bourbon and Vermont Maple Syrup! Vermont Spirits Distilling Co. is the state’s oldest distillery, founded in 1999, starting off distilling vodka from maple syrup before getting into whiskey in the early 2010s. In a world of overly sweet flavored whiskeys, their No. 14 bottling (honoring Vermont as the 14th state to join the Union) is a breath of fresh air, being a bourbon-centric blend. Masterfully crafted by Head Distiller Don Kolp, whose palate was honed over 30 years as a chef, the goal of No. 14 is to have the maple complement the bourbon and not take over, matching previous batches by taste rather than formula.
This is not your typical “flavored whiskey” but is meant to be an introduction to the category—a “bourbon with training wheels” in the best sense. The Vermont climate provides an incredibly elegant aging process for the bourbon, leading to nuanced flavors augmented by the lightest touch of pure Vermont maple syrup, sourced from an 8th generation family farm just 10 miles from the distillery. An organic combination that makes for pleasant and easy drinking, but should not be confused as simplistic in any way. Whether you’re drinking this neat, on the rocks, or in an Old-Fashioned (you can skip the sweetener!), this whiskey will truly put you in an autumnal mood and is a great way to kick off any fall celebration.
