Help Us Start a Vermont Tradition

Become a Founding Partner in the First-Ever SND Maple Bourbon Old Fashioned Month

October 1–31, 2026

This October, Smugglers’ Notch Distillery is bringing Vermont bars and restaurants together for the first-ever Maple Bourbon Old Fashioned Month.

Our goal is simple:

We’re inviting Vermont bars and restaurants to join us from the beginning as Founding Partners.

WE'LL PROMOTE THE MONTH. LET'S BUILD IT TOGETHER.

Smugglers’ Notch Distillery is putting promotional support behind Maple Bourbon Old Fashioned Month through radio, digital advertising, social media, our tasting rooms, and other campaign marketing.

Participating restaurants will also be featured on our website so customers can find places throughout Vermont serving an SND Maple Bourbon Old Fashioned.

And we’ll give you the tools you need to take part.
