Three Valley businesses win Good Food Award
When looking for the best food in America, look no farther than the Mad River Valley. Every year, the Good Food Foundation sees thousands of submissions for the Good Food Award, a prestigious national award with a vigorous vetting process that aims to find the tastiest, most authentic and sustainably-made food and beverage products in the country. This year, out of 1,928 entries, 22 Vermont businesses made it to the finals, three of which are based in the Mad River Valley.

New Mad River Distillers Rye Whiskey Finished in Silver Oak Red Wine Barrels
Vermont’s Mad River Distillers recently announced a collaboration with CaskForce, a Boston-based retailer that curates cask- finished whiskey, to create a new limited release rye whiskey that has been finished in red wine barrels.
The team up began two years ago when Caskforce founder Nick O’Connell hit upon the idea of filling toasted American oak barrels that once housed cabernet sauvignon from Napa Valley winery Silver Oak Cellars with Mad River’s signature Revolution Rye, a whiskey said to be “distilled with roasted ‘chocolate’ rye from the Northeast, which adds a complex and aromatic cocoa/mocha note to the spicy nature of the organic rye grains.”
