Smugglersâ Notch Distillery is a father/son partnership in Jeffersonville, Vermont. The distillery was founded in 2006 at the foot of the famed Smugglersâ Notch, site of many a clandestine bootleggerâs run through this rugged Vermont mountain pass. The smuggling route was actually first used during the 1800s to move goods during the trade embargo and then again in the 1920s to move liquor during prohibition. Today this enchanting area provides outdoor enthusiasts with a boulder-laden curved mountain road and caves to explore.
Although they donât need to smuggle anymore, Smugglersâ Notch Distillery provides spirits worthy of the cause. Using the finest ingredients blended with pristine Vermont spring water, they make, barrel age, blend, and hand-bottle remarkably distinctive, award-winning spirits one small batch at a time. This is a must-visit while in the Jeffersonville area!
