Burnt Rock Bourbon

Named for a popular hiking trail in the Mad River Valley, Burnt Rock Bourbon’s mash includes smoked barley over maplewood. With a combination of 70% corn, 15% rye and 15% smoked barley, the Burnt Rock Bourbon is especially unique. This whiskey explodes with flavor and spice with just a touch of smoke at 92 proof.

Naturally infused with fresh, vine-ripened (never dried or roasted) peppers from farmers’ markets in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, Fiero Tequila Habanero is unapologetically the spiciest infused tequila available in the U.S. The hand-picked habaneros perfectly amplify tequila’s well-known kick.

Mixing It up for the Bees

Brattleboro’s

Gabriel Pessoa Monteiro Adds Brazilian Flair to Bee’s Knees Week Cocktails

When Gabriel and Jamie Pessoa Monteiro first met in New York City, an undeniable fusion of spirits from Gabe's Brazilian culture and Jamie's organic Vermont upbringing came together to create the perfect cocktail for their marriage and business partnership.

Their passion and commitment to their mixology led them to the Brattleboro area, where they have delighted their patrons with their cocktail craft. The former partners of A Vermont Table are currently in negotiations to develop a new project in southern Vermont.

“We're profoundly passionate about the bartending community, and we are thrilled to embark on our new entrepreneurial journey,” said Jamie, who

was general manager at A Vermont Table.

At the heart of everything they do behind the bar is their commitment to using as many local and organically grown ingredients as possible from either Jamie's farm or nearby farms.

They also incorporate locally grown herbs into their cocktails. "We try to have a little garden for the bar," says Gabe, who served as beverage director at A Vermont Table.

Vermont raw honey is also a vital ingredient, so the couple has made it a

point to participate in the annual Bee's Knees Week celebration since they first came to Vermont in 2016 and worked at various restaurants.

Barr Hill at Caledonia Spirits in Montpelier has staged this event at over 100 bars and restaurants throughout Vermont since 2017. This year, Bee's Knees Week will occur from Sept. 22 to Oct. 1.

"Barr Hill has been a great partner," says Gabe. He features Barr Hill gin in many of

A time to ‘bee’ good

Enjoy a cocktail while helping to save the planet. This year, Bee's Knees Week will occur from Sept. 22 to Oct. 1.

"Every year in September, bars, restaurants, spirit stores, cocktail fans and environmental stewards come together to celebrate pollinators and raise awareness about their importance to our planet and well-being,” craft distiller Caledonia Spirits says on its website.

Ten square feet of pollinator habitat will be planted for every cocktail posted to social media using #beeskneesweek at @barrhillgin.

Here are some of the establishments participating in Bee's Knees Week around the state:

Blackbird Bistro, Craftsbury

Cork and Fork, Hardwick

their Classic and New Classic Cocktails, including the Barrel-Aged Negroni, Campari, and Cocci di Torino.

“We deeply appreciate the support we've received from community brands throughout our careers, particularly the likes of Barr Hill,” Jamie says.

Jamie says the couple understands and appreciates how much Barr Hill supports the health of bees, a major player in the world's food production.

In the U.S. alone, the bees' pollination activity accounts for 20% of America's food products. Barr Hill's spirits are made with raw honey obtained from Vermont beekeepers.

"I really appreciate what they are doing for the bees," Jamie says, because for every Bee's Knees cocktail shared to social media from Sept. 22 through Oct. 1, Barr Hill plants 10 square feet of pollinator habitat. Last year alone, Barr Hill planted over 200,000 square feet of new pollinator habitat (about 4.5 acres).

Spent lemon shells

Saved pineapple skin

½ cup of granulated sugar

In a medium-sized container, mix the lemon shells, pineapple skin and sugar together and leave it undisturbed for a day. After 24 hours, separate the solid elements and transfer the mixture into a bottle. It can be chilled and stored in the refrigerator for a maximum of two weeks.

Bee's Knees Week is now the largest sustainability event in the spirits industry.

The couple also has a strong commitment to sustainability and prefers to use spirits that reflect this philosophy. For example, Gabe points out they use Novo Fogo silver cachaca, a Brazilian rum made from sugar cane that is re-forested after it is harvested to create these spirits.

Gabe recalls how he spent a great deal of time at his grandfather's farm outside of Sao Paolo, Brazil, where he grew up. Jamie Pessoa grew up in the Brattleboro area, and the couple now lives on her father's farm in Brookline near Putney Mountain.

During Bee's Knees Week, Gabe says they will feature three Barr Hill-inspired cocktails: the Bee's Knees, Jungle Bee, and the Barrel-Aged Negroni.

Jamie explains that while both of them mix drinks, her husband is the mixology star. She says Gabe constantly experiments with different ingredients,

juices, tinctures and pairings to create craft cocktails their patrons appreciate.

Behind every great mixologist is a life partner who is never reluctant to voice their opinion. Gabe smiles when he talks about how Jamie fulfills that role. "She's the first one to criticize my drinks."

The couple also says they put just as much effort into their non-alcoholic cocktails, so they carry the same quality and look as their craft cocktails. "It's all about being inclusive," Gabe says.

Gabe adds that non-alcoholic drinks are growing in popularity, because people who cannot drink alcohol still want to enjoy the experience of having a cocktail as part of their dining pleasure.

They ensure that every detail that goes into every cocktail — the right glassware, presentation and adequately cubed ice — is just right. They understand those details matter greatly to people who want to become loyal patrons.

Gabe recalls that he didn't initially plan to become an expert craft cocktail creator. "I've been cooking pretty much my whole life," he says. After he moved to New York City in his 20s, he said he worked in several restaurant kitchens. While working at Desnuda in Brooklyn, Gabe met Sother Teague, a published bartender.

"He taught me cocktails are mostly cooking with liquids," recalls Gabe.

Jamie had lived in New York for 12 years and met her husband eight years ago in the city. They married two years later after they decided to move to Vermont in 2016. For the next six years, Gabe bartended in different restaurants and at ski resorts. Jamie also worked at some local establishments where she honed her mixology skills.

They know they have succeeded when they see how their customers react to their cocktail creations. "There is nothing more exciting for us to see than people having a great time together," Gabe says.

The couple is excited about their next project.

“This venture will afford us the opportunity to further collaborate with these exceptional brands that form the heart of our community,” Jamie says.

ANSWER:

It is well documented that bees play an important role in worldwide food production. In the U.S. alone, their pollination of plants and flowers accounts for more than 20% of total food production. But some may not know that bees are also very in tune with their beekeepers’ feelings and want to be told what is happening in their lives. This Celtic tradition was recently highlighted by author Diana Gabaldon in her ninth book of the "Outlander" series, “Go Tell the Bees That I’ve Gone.”

Quench Your Spirit

With Five Fall Foliage Adventures

BY ROBERT COOK

Just E-Bike It St. Johnsbury

For fall foliage fans who crave a cycling adventure, they can rent an e-bike and glide along those country roads and byways.

At All Around Rental in St. Johnsbury, they can embark on an e-bike safari without having to provide all of the pedal power. When your cycling tour is through, it is time to kick back and enjoy spirits that encapsulate the cool fall air and colors that abound everywhere you look.

Cinnamon Maple Whiskey Sour

1½ ounces Bulleit bourbon

1 ounce fresh lemon juice

2 to 4 teaspoons maple syrup, to taste Pinch of ground cinnamon, optional Fill a cocktail shaker or mason jar twothirds full of ice. Pour in the bourbon, lemon juice, maple syrup and pinch of ground cinnamon. Securely fasten the lid and shake well. Pour fresh ice into your cocktail glass and strain the cold whiskey sour mixture into the glass.

Enjoying Vermont’s spectacular fall foliage is not limited to a leisurely drive through the Green Mountain National Forest or a traditional hike. For those who want to view Vermont’s red, orange and gold bounty through a different prism accompanied by a spirit of adventure, there are plenty of great options. Here are five exciting ways to experience autumn's splendor and some cocktails to enjoy after each adventure is through.

Up, Up and Away! Quechee

Imagine the thrill of gently soaring above the trees and meadows in a hot air balloon. With the Green Mountains, red barns and white churches as a backdrop, up to four people can ride with an experienced pilot and enjoy a private flight.

For more than a decade, Quechee Balloon Rides has been offering guests this memorable experience. Pilot Chris Ritland takes passengers up in his hot air balloon, where they can take breathtaking videos and photos of the foliage below or just enjoy the ride. His balloon is located at Quechee Village Green next to the Ottaquechee River.

When you are back on the ground, it’s time to toast this unforgettable adventure with spirits that reflect the essence of the season.

Sparkling Cider and Bourbon

2 ounces bourbon

3 ounces nonalcoholic sparkling cider (such as Martinelli’s)

2 dashes bitters

Apple slices, for garnish

Fill a small mason jar with ice. Top with cider, bourbon and bitters. Garnish with apple slices.

Cruise Lake Champlain Burlington

For decades, the Spirit of Ethan Allen has been giving passengers a chance at the shore. If you crave some time on the water to get your leaf-peeping fix, this 140-foot boat awaits at its Burlington dock.

The Spirit of Ethan Allen can accommodate 363 passengers and has a galley along with plenty of vantage points to enjoy the view. Passengers can also enjoy the beautiful array of foliage along New York State’s shoreline and the Adirondack Mountains to the west.

Back on land, a great cocktail to complement your day on the lake is in order.

Apple Sangria and Bourbon with Thyme

1 bottle chilled unoaked Chardonnay (750ML)

2 cups fresh-pressed apple cider

½ cup bourbon

2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon orange bitters

2 medium-sized tart apples

6 sprigs thyme, plus one sprig for each drink

2 bottles Angry Orchard hard cider (12 oz.)

Crushed ice

In a large pitcher, stir together Chardonnay, fresh-pressed apple cider, bourbon, lemon juice and orange bitters. Slice apples (do not peel) thinly, crosswise, to create apple rings. Discard any seeds and then cut rings in half. Add apple slices and six thyme sprigs to pitcher.

Place pitcher in refrigerator to chill and let flavors mingle for a few hours. Just before serving, stir in the hard cider. Fill individual glasses two-thirds full with crushed ice and pour in sangria. Add a few apple slices and a fresh sprig of thyme to each glass for garnish.

Fly Through the Trees

Jeffersonville

If your need for speed and desire for fall foliage beauty go hand in hand, a zipline tour where you can travel at your preferred pace is a great choice.

ArborTrek Canopy Adventures in Jeffersonville promises its patrons a 2½ to 3 hour trek of “gravity-fed, heart-pounding, bridge-crossing, breath-taking, tree-climbing, eco-friendly, unforgettable, family fun" on Vermont’s first worldclass zipline canopy tour.

Their zipline tours can be “serene or extreme,” the company advises. A bold cocktail to commemorate your flight through the trees would be more than appropo.

Old Scholar Rye Whiskey Cocktail

6 fresh sage leaves, plus more for garnish

1 ounce simple syrup

4 ounces fresh orange juice, plus twist for garnish

3 ounces Rye whiskey

Muddle sage and simple syrup in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Add orange juice, whiskey and ice. Shake vigorously until combined, about 1 minute. Strain over crushed ice and garnish with sage and orange twist.

Saddle Up! Jeffersonville

If you have never ridden a horse through the Vermont woods, it is something that anyone who loves nature should experience. There are very few ways to feel as one with the forest, streams, meadows and surrounding mountains than on horseback. Fortunately, Lajoie Stables in Jeffersonville, a stone’s throw from Smuggler’s Notch, has you covered. Perfect for the whole family — and riders of all abilities — gentle trail rides give everyone in your party a chance to connect with Vermont’s fall foliage in a novel way. After dismounting from your loyal steed, it’s time for some fall refreshments to celebrate your equestrian feat.

Pumpkin Whiskey Smash Cocktail

PUMPKIN SIMPLE SYRUP

1 cup sugar

1 cup pumpkin puree

2 cups water

2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice

WHISKEY SMASH

1 cup good quality whiskey

Recovery Efforts

Some damaged 802Spirits stores remain closed

July’s catastrophic flooding has severely impacted homes and businesses throughout the state. While the Department did not suffer any damage, businesses across Vermont have experienced flooding including markets, restaurants and bars. Our Londonderry, Johnson, and Montpelier 802Spirits stores sustained major damage and were forced to temporarily close because of the storm. Our team continues to support those and other

impacted locations on their paths to resuming normal operations.

DLL is continuing to work alongside partner state agencies to quickly and accurately share information about recovery resources and to update businesses and customers alike. We appreciate your patience as we navigate these challenging times. Below you can find the latest information about flood response, including detailed information on reporting damages.

Flood Resources and Reporting Damages

Vermonters with damaged homes should report those damages to Vermont 211 by visiting the Vermont 211 Homepage at vermont211. org or calling 2-1-1. You can find a full list of flood resources, including individual assistance and opportunities to volunteer or donate at vem.vermont.gov/flood.
