Bourbon Barrel-Aged Maple Syrup

From Runamok · Fairfax, Vermont · @runamokmaple

Eric and Laura Sorkin tap their own sugarbush on a mountainside in northern Vermont and started playing with the syrup: smoked, infused, and aged in barrels. The bourbon barrel one, organic syrup rested in just-emptied bourbon casks, was their first experiment and is still their best seller.

Maple syrup that spent time in a bourbon barrel. Over hot feta, it's sweet, salty and a little boozy. Make this for people.
