Bourbon and Maple Syrup: A Marriage Made in Heaven
In the Catskill Mountains of New York, the Fairbairn family have owned and operated their 100+ acre farm since the 1930’s. Jake’s grandfather started the legacy of making maple syrup, and both Jake and his brother have continued the tradition.
Making pure maple syrup over a wood-fired evaporator creates an especially delicious product, but it becomes even more special after aging the pure maple syrup inside a locally-sourced bourbon barrel for three months. Pure maple syrup is a treat in itself, but barrel-aging transforms this premium-grade maple syrup into something truly extraordinary.
To source these bourbon barrels, Tree Juice Maple Syrup collaborates with a number of local distilleries, including: Union Grove Distillery in Arkville, Hudson Distillery (formerly Tuthiltown) in Gardiner, Van Brunt Stillhouse and Fort Hamilton Distillery in Brooklyn, NY.
The barrels are filled with hot maple syrup to draw out the flavor compounds stored in the oak walls. Throughout the aging process, the flavor compounds are infused into the maple syrup adding hints of caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, spice, and most importantly Bourbon!!
Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup is an ideal ice cream topping, tastes great over oatmeal, in your morning coffee and of course on pancakes, waffles and french toast. It has a beautiful color and flavor.
Tree Juice Maple Syrups are packaged in clear glass bottles which maintain the flavor and show off the beautiful color variation and quality in every bottle.
