WhistlePig Barrel-Aged Maple Syrup

Organic Vermont Maple Syrup | Aged in WhistlePig Rye Whiskey Barrels | 375mL | Produced with Runamok

Process & Profile

Runamok ages pure organic Vermont maple syrup in freshly emptied WhistlePig rye whiskey barrels. The wood contributes brown-spice and oak character to the syrup's natural caramel sweetness.

Aging time varies by barrel, and Runamok tastes each one until the desired flavor develops. The result is a food and cocktail ingredient with a clear whiskey-barrel influence. The producer notes that trace amounts of alcohol may remain.
