Wood's Vermont Maple Syrup - Bourbon
Wood's Vermont Maple Syrup - Bourbon
This rich syrup, aged in bourbon barrels, elevates everything it touches. I use it as a substitute for honey, molasses and corn syrup in dessert recipes, and it adds a unique elegance that keeps people wondering what my secret is!
Al Wood combines two time-tested ingredients to produce this gold standard in the Maple industry. Freshly emptied barrels from Tuthilltown Spirits are filled with Wood’s maple syrup hot off the evaporator and aged for several months.
Just like aged whiskey, barrel-aged maple takes time and care to make. Consider this the pinnacle of flavors of two widely loved crafts!
Ingredients: Handcrafted Vermont Maple Syrup and a trace of bourbon from the barrel it was aged in.*
*While aging in bourbon barrels, the syrup draws in the essential flavors of the charred barrel, but takes in no more than 1% alcohol content, which keeps the syrup family friendly.
We met the exuberant Al Wood (pictured at right) at a New England Made tade show back in 2015. We loved his good energy and his quality maple syrup, something that has been part of his family’s tradition since 1920. We carry several of Wood’s varieties, and they are each distinct and flavorful, although none of the flavors overshadow the good rich syrup that is the base of his excellent products. We have seen other good New England syrup companies take on flavorings over the years, but none has the heart and soul we have come to expect when Wood’s is on the label.
