About Woodnose

🥇 New York Times Wirecutter Best Non-alcoholic Drinks of 2021-2024 🥇 L.A. Spirit Awards Gold Medal Winner Non-alcoholic Category 2021 Nestled in the verdant foothills of Vermont's Green Mountains, SACRÉ is born from the whispers of the birds, the untamed spirit of the wild, and the majesty of the woods. As a 6th generation family of Vermont maple producers, we are deeply rooted in agriculture and our passion for using organic and ethically sourced ingredients. Each spring, the family collects sap and boils it down into Vermont's "liquid gold". We are passionate stewards of their land, employing sustainable practices that go beyond simply organics. It's a commitment to responsible maple sugaring, honoring generations of tradition. Our woods have received classification as a “Bird Friendly Sugarbush” maintaining a healthy forest for nesting birds. The maple base undergoes fermentation using a "mother" passed down for generations. This is followed by a lengthy aging process in bourbon barrels, allowing the vinegar to develop depth and complexity, acquiring rich flavors and aromas over 18 months. The aged vinegar is then blended with the artisanal coffee and fresh maple syrup, along with a few secret botanicals. This unique combination creates the unexpected foamy head, a natural result of the interaction between the fermented maple, coffee, and sugars. The result is intense, a “full-body experience” (Anna Perling, Wirecutter, “The Best Non-Alcoholic Drinks”). Read their story
