Green Mountain Distillers is a craft-distiller located in the village of Stowe, Vermont. Since 2002, Timothy Danahy and Harold Faircloth III, the Founders and Master Distillers, have dedicated themselves to producing hand-crafted, organic distilled spirits.
All of the Green Mountain Organic products are meticulously crafted, using small-batch fermentation and a proprietary distillation process. This process has been Certified Organic by Vermont Organic Farmers, one of the nation’s oldest and most prestigious certifying agencies, as well as the USDA National Organic Program. The Green Mountain Distillers method guarantees premium quality and exceptional taste.
Every Green Mountain Organic product begins with highest quality, 100% Certified Organic grain, provided by a family farmer owned cooperative. Once at the distillery, the grain is combined with Vermont spring water. This is then distilled six times to produce the highest quality spirits possible. The six time distillation process results in the purest of spirits, with no need for exotic filtrations due to the superior nature of the finished product.

GIN
Green Mountain Organic Gin is a beautifully botanical rich gin, full of wonderfully fresh Juniper flavors and deep earthy notes. Distilled from a unique blend of botanicals, Vermont spring water and pure organic grain, Green Mountain Organic Gin has an intense Juniper forward, refreshing taste without the harshness that is so often present in other gins. The solid backbone of Juniper leads to an intriguingly deep, multilayered flavored spirit with a slight sweetness that compliments this complexity of flavors.
