Sapling Vermont Maple Rye Whiskey

Located in the heart of Vermont’s syrup belt Saxtons River distillery makes both a Vermont maple-flavored rye and a maple-flavored bourbon whiskey. The rye is the better of the two and does a solid job of mixing oak cinnamon black pepper and rye spice notes with vanilla and rich maple syrup. The rye whiskey is a little young but the maple syrup complements it well and is more companion than cover.
