Sips & Sites & Bites

This holiday season, Vermont Smoke & Cure has crafted a truly unique gift for lovers of fine spirits and gourmet snacks: the Maple Old Fashioned Meat Stick.

This innovative treat is the result of a pioneering collaboration with fellow Vermont icon WhistlePig Whiskey. Together, they’ve reimagined snacking with the first-ever cocktail-inspired meat stick, offering a sophisticated pairing for whiskey aficionados.

Each Maple Old Fashioned Meat Stick is made from premium cuts of beef or pork, slow-smoked over retired WhistlePig barrel staves, and delicately infused with Vermont maple syrup. The result is a perfectly balanced bite that captures the essence of a classic Old Fashioned cocktail … rich, smoky, and subtly sweet. The connection to WhistlePig’s renowned craftsmanship is unmistakable, adding a layer of authenticity and refinement to every stick.

The meat sticks are elegantly packaged to resemble cigars, lending them a touch of vintage charm that makes them perfect for gifting. Whether you’re stuffing stockings, curating a whiskey-themed gift basket, or looking for a unique conversation piece, these snacks stand out. At $12.99 for an 8-pack, they’re available online and at select retailers nationwide.

Beyond the Maple Old Fashioned, Vermont Smoke & Cure offers a wide variety of pork, beef, and turkey snacks that deliver slow-smoked flavors in convenient, ready-to-eat packages. Perfect for busy days or casual entertaining, their products are as versatile as they are delicious.

For anyone seeking a holiday gift that combines quality, flavor, and a touch of Vermont heritage, Vermont Smoke & Cure’s collaboration with WhistlePig Whiskey is a can’t-miss option. It’s the best thing to pair with whiskey since, well, whiskey!
