Fall foliage 🤝 fresh snowfall 🍁❄️

Saturday's snowliage in Smugglers’ Notch was proof that Mother Nature likes to keep us on our toes!

Fun Fact: This rugged Vermont mountain pass was once a secret route for smugglers, first used in the 1800s to transport goods during trade embargoes and later in the 1920s to move liquor during Prohibition. Today, the Notch is known for its winding mountain road, massive boulders, hidden caves, and endless outdoor adventures. A little history, a little mystery, and plenty of Vermont character!

We always like seeing what bartenders do with our Maple Bourbon. This one got our attention!

A friend ordered this Wagyu fat-washed Old Fashioned at Umami Crudo in Boston and sent back a glowing review.

Cheers to the team at for the creative pour, and Ruby Wines Inc. for helping bring SND to the table.

It’s National Liqueur Day. Around here, we think Vermont maple deserves to be the star of the show.

Our Maple Cream Liqueur and Bourbon Maple Cream Liqueur: two rich, smooth, distinctly Vermont ways to celebrate.

Because some things are just better with maple.
