Expect an enticing interplay of rich grain notes, complemented by a warm embrace of vanilla and subtle oak. There's a gentle hint of spice that lingers, offering a satisfying depth without overwhelming the senses. This balance makes it an ideal candidate for sipping neat, where its nuanced complexity can be fully appreciated. For those who prefer a touch of dilution, a splash of water or serving it on the rocks helps to accentuate its sweeter undertones, inviting a softer exploration of its flavors. When it comes to cocktails, Mad River Bourbon shines with its versatile profile. It forms a robust foundation for a classic Old Fashioned, where its inherent richness is elevated by the bitters and citrus. Additionally, it can craft a sublime Manhattan, with the bourbon's spice and oak playing harmoniously against the sweet vermouth and bitters. For a refreshing take, consider a Whiskey Sour, which allows its vibrant character to mingle with the tartness of fresh lemon. Whichever your choice, a rocks glass suits its easygoing nature when enjoyed in mixed drinks. For those who relish the art of nosing, a Glencairn glass serves well to capture the bourbon’s aromatic profile, offering a full exploration of its fragrant layers. Mad River Bourbon represents a distinctive offering in the world of American whiskey, with a regional integrity that speaks to the heart of Vermont craftsmanship.

Went really well with smoked brisket and mac n cheese. Maybe just a bit hotter than I prefer but good pour.
Response from CBC Liquors, Westford
Brisket and bourbon is tough to beat. If you want something a touch smoother, try the Woodinville next time. - Marie
