ABOUT VERMONT DISTILLERS
We are a family owned and operated craft distillery located next to the Hogback Mountain Scenic Overlook in Marlboro, VT. Although best known for our Metcalfe’s line of liqueurs, we also make Catamount Vodka, as well as flavored Bourbons & limited edition apple-based spirits.
Proprietor Edward Metcalfe has a history in the beverage industry dating back to 1985 as founder of the North River Winery in Jacksonville, License # BW-VT-1. Although others had come and gone before, North River Winery was the only winery in the state at the time it was founded and became best know for their hard cider and fruit wines.
Ed sold the business in 1997 to focus on other aspects of life. However, the love of making hooch never dies and sure enough, he was back at it before long (11 years to be exact), this time with the help of his two sons. Augustus and Dominic Metcalfe work alongside their father on many aspects of the business, ranging from production to sales and marketing.
