I had a meeting this afternoon with a Local Maple Syrup Maker, he has Sugar Bushes in Western & Northern Maine....So I'm getting all the back ground on his biz, the syrups, candies, sugar ect. learning about the whole process....
I asked him if he has any unique products and he said "give this a try''......He teamed up with a small Southern Maine Bourbon maker, when the 55 Gallon barrels are empty with Bourbon he brings them back and filled it with Maple Syrup and let it age for 3 month.....He poured me a shot glass full and WOW was this stuff AMAZING, so clean with the hint of small batch bourbon, pure heaven.....He just shipped the barrel back down and they are going to see what happens to the Bourbon after it ages in the Maple Barrel......I'm making sure I get invited to that sampling!!!
They are going to try it with Rum & Vodka next....Not sure about these combo's but what the hell it's worth a try.....:0008
