Village Bonfire is a 90-proof whiskey blended with locally sourced smoked maple syrup, produced by Village Garage Distillery in Bennington, Vermont. The base whiskey, made from Vermont-grown corn and rye, is sourced from an undisclosed Vermont distillery and crafted to the distillery’s specifications.
Ultimately, this drinks more like a liqueur than a whiskey, though the alcohol-driven bite leaves a cinnamon-punched impression. I was enduringly confused by this whiskey from start to finish. That’s not always a bad thing, but in this case, I was expecting something more straightforward.
