Saxtons distillery and tasting room are such a gem in Brattleboro…read more We were spending this Monday afternoon in town and stopped for a tasting. Christian greeted us nicely and recommended certain ways of doing tastings and specs of each. He chatted while making bar menu cocktails for other guests. We each selected a regular flight and a reserve flight to try all their spirit options that we thought interesting. I can't say enough about how very impressed I am with the quality of the bourbons produced here. The double barrel bourbon, a maple bourbon and & a maple rye were all excellent choices on the regular flight menu. I also appreciated Perk coffee liqueur & the flavors and complexity of the Snowdrop gin. ($5 flight) On the reserve flight, friends chose the 15 year angel bourbon, 12 year rye reserve, aged snowdrop gin, and the vineyard rye full strength. ($12 flight) Really can't say enough about the quality that is offered here! Plus the facilities are inviting and I'd enjoy a day on the patio or to hear some music some afternoon, it's a great spot. I highly recommend a stop and purchase here! Cheers.

We sat inside, which was lovely, but the outside area looks fun. My sister and I each did a tasting and we loved the spirits. My favorites were the Sapling maple liqueur and the Sapling maple bourbon. Staff was really friendly and we enjoyed the distillery cat. I'm looking forward to returning to try some cocktails.

They then let you know you can sample 4 different spirits, my wife and I declined on this part only due to the fact we stopped at the nearby brewery first. We went right into picking our cocktails. Next time we definitely would do the sampling. Cocktail wise their current menu was broken into three different sections, those being Vodka, Bourbon, and lastly moonshine. An extra category on the bottom did include two mocktails as well. I thought the cocktails were extremely reasonable either being $11 or $13. I got their peach smash which was a really good drink utilizing their honey bourbon and peach liqueur which was balanced so well! My wife got their French martini that utilized their vodka and raspberry liqueur and came in a frosted glass. We loved both of the drinks and even though my wife typically is not a bourbon fan she liked mine. While we enjoyed our drinks inside and appreciated the atmosphere of the inside including the decor the true view is outside. Enjoy your cocktail while taking in the view, you can be on the patio or at a table or chair at the overlook. Can snap some amazing photos that's for sure! To sum it up, friendly and welcoming staff who make delicious cocktails with a great setting inside and out!

We did a large group tasting of some of their top wines and spirits and it was only $5 for a sample (about 1-2 sips) great little trial if you want to try everything.

They are a newer distillery so they don't have any aged whiskey yet, but they do have some barrels aging in the tasting room. They have a decent food menu also, which is mostly locally sourced.

We also met another owner and had a great conversation with both. The tasting room is decorated very nicely. They have a wall of hero's, if you are military or a first responder you can donate a patch for the wall and they give you a free drink.
