Vermont Spirits Gold is 40% abv. / 80 proof and is made from Vermont Maple Syrup. Vermont Spirits makes three types of vodka. The Gold is from ample syrup the Vintage Gold from maple sap, and the White is made from milk sugar. They are small batch vodkas made in wood fired, steam heated distillers and the Gold is limited to 1,000 cases a year.The aroma is graceful and delicate, full of maple and hints of butter; with a nice warm alcohol base. The taste starts slightly sharp and peppery and then quickly has maple and buttery notes come through. These last a long time with a slight sweetness joining in. The body is full with an enjoyable oily-silkiness that slides along your tongue. It finishes with a cool-warm tongue and lip tingling.
Created by Duncan Holiday, an anthropologist, it is his answer to using local resources and products in a new way. This is definitely a vodka that you want to sip straight, cold, or on the rocks. Mixing this with much of anything will overwhelm the delicate flavor.

Homesickness often shows itself in cravings for certain foods. For many soldiers from Vermont currently serving in
Iraq and Afghanistan, the craving was for jerky. Not just any jerky, but venison jerky. So, doing their best
to oblige their hometown troops, law enforcement officers and game wardens in Bennington County, Vermont, started
collecting venison. They looked for illegal hunting kills and fresh roadkills to use for their dried treats. In
the end, they came up with 170 pounds of venison that was turned into jerky by a Bennington grocery owner. Ironically,
the local Elks Club footed the bill for curing and shipping the meat.
