Tasting Shack Retail Associate @ Spruce Peak, 24-25 Winter Season beginning 11/18 

About the Organization While the good old boys are drinking whiskey and rye, our young, rebellious team of creators have no time for nostalgia. We're too busy relentlessly trying new things to unlock the potential of America's oldest spirit, and we are just getting started.


Once the leading American spirit, Rye Whiskey faded from popularity after prohibition ...until a dedicated crew of Rye enthusiasts settled in an unlikely place, turning a historic dairy barn into a world class whiskey distillery in remote Shoreham, Vermont, where we keep the things that make Rye great, throw out the rest, and constantly innovate to make whiskey our way.

  • Retail sales experience – you're the master of product presentation and upselling.

  • Basic computer skills (MS Office, POS systems).

  • A schedule you can commit to; the Tasting Shack hours will be open 7 days/week.

  • A pigtastic personality, and the ability to solve problems on the fly.

  • Lift and move up to 50 pounds.

  • Be ready for the occasional sitting, stooping, kneeling, crouching, and reaching.
