Rye with a Vermont accent. Co-founded by Maura Connolly, Mad River Distillers makes Revolution Rye from local and organic rye in Vermont’s Mad River Valley. The 100% rye mash bill includes three different rye varieties, including chocolate-malted and toasted rye, giving this whiskey a personality all its own. Earthy and peppery with notes of berry, walnut, tropical spice, cocoa and mocha, it’s bold without losing its easygoing side. A distinctly Vermont take on rye that’s just as happy in a Manhattan as it is poured neat.
