Saxtons River Distillery

Specialties

Saxtons River Distillery, home of Sapling Maple Liqueur, was started in a barn — appropriate for a company that features Vermont’s finest agricultural product, maple syrup.

Now located in Brattleboro, Vermont, the distillery offers Sapling Maple Liqueur, Sapling Maple Bourbon, Sapling Maple Rye, and Perc Coffee Liqueur.

History

Established in 2006.

My family fled Czarist-​controlled Lithuania in 1906. They strongly desired to assimilate into American society, but kept alive familiar Lithuanian traditions and customs, including making flavorful liqueurs. The tradition of crafting fine liqueurs has been passed from generation to generation, and we are pleased to share our unique liqueur with you.

Saxtons River Distillery spirits combine old-​world heritage with the flavor of Vermont. I gained appreciation for maple syrup while living in Vermont and visiting the sugar houses of friends in spring. Understanding the amount of work required to produce quality maple syrup has given me profound respect for the final product. With a nod to family tradition and the tradition of Vermont, I offer you the unique taste of Saxtons River Distillery spirits.
