At MRD we tried to look at rum with a fresh and distinctly modern, American view: we age our premium rum, made with cane sugar, in fresh charred American oak barrels - just like our bourbon and rye. The result is simply stunning: First Run Rum - a sipping rum with an initial “hit” of bourbon-like richness rapidly transitioning to a smooth and distinctly rum-caramel finish. Since its introduction this summer, the staff at MRD have shocked and converted hordes of “I only drink whiskey” drinkers to our rum. All our sugars are fair trade all natural raw cane sugars from Malawi where our purchases support local villages and farmers.

| The origins of Mad River Distillers dates back to a dinner Maura and John were having in 2011. Maura was talking about planting a vineyard on their farm and someone suggested that Vermont was an unforgivng climate for grapes and that it would be better to produce something more indigenous like apple brandy. John, who was a life-long fan of Calvados, the French apple brandy, was immediately intrigued. Soon, Brett, who shared John’s appreciation for Calvados, was on board and the idea of starting a distillery at Cold Springs Farm was born. Next on board was Alex, who did an amazing job renovating a dilapidated old horse barn into a state of the art craft distllery. Along the way, Alex also became interested enough to sign on as the General Manager of Mad River Distillers. After finishing the renovations, obtaining our permits and firing up our still, we produced our first spirits, Mad River Rum in May 2013. We have produced over a half dozen different craft spirits since then, including Malvados, our flagship apple brandy. |
