The maple syrup is real Vermont syrup, from a farm – Mcintosh Hill in Randolph – just a few miles from where Jon lived for many years ! Vermont maple is the best. This whiskey is luscious. It is a 13 year old corn whiskey aged in ex-bourbon barrels, then infused with Vermont gold that itself was aged a year in whiskey barrels. Richness on top of richness. You could pour this on pancakes. It is amazing that the nose does not evoke the syrup at all, rather spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. But once you taste it ! Wow! After dinner, instead of a liqueur, or port.
