How fun! The Smugglers Notch Distillery is only a few miles down the road from us. Aren't the painted silo's across the street cool? I also enjoy their bourbon from time to time. Another favorite is their Maple Creme Liqueur. Be sure to try some next time you're about!
I will have to check that out for sure! I have a love hate relationship with maple flavored stuff thanks to eating too much maple candy when we were traveling in New England as a kid. I'd be willing to give it a shot though! We were actually getting hungry, so we didn't make it all the way through the notch. We turned around at one of the park buildings just past the one boulder that is almost in the middle of the road. We went back to Stowe and had lunch at Idle Tyme Brewing.
Yes, it's a bit too sweet for my taste, but my wife loves it.
