Brescome Barton hosted a cocktail competition featuring spirits from Vermont’s Mad River Distillers at RoadRunner Kitchen + Bar in Bridgeport on Feb. 27. Seven local bartenders created their best cocktails featuring Mad River Distillers Revolution Rye Whiskey for a panel of judges: Erika Robertson, Sales Representative, Brescome Barton; Maura Connolly, Co-founder and Director of Sales, Mad River Distillers; and Chris Munk, Account Development Manager, Brescome Barton. The winners were: first place: Ozzy Casco, RoadRunner Kitchen + Bar; second place: Allan Heady, Tautog Tavern; and third place: Patti Minami, BJ Ryan’s and BJ Ryan’s BanC House. Mad River Distillers spirits are distributed in the state by Brescome Barton. Based in Warren, Vermont, Mad River Distillers began distilling whiskey, rum and brandy in 2013 on a 150-year-old farm in the heart of the Mad River Valley, with a focus on aged spirits that are character-driven and full of flavor.
