Taconic Distillery Double Barrel Bourbon Whiskey with Maple Syrup

Our limited edition bourbon comes from teaming up with
Catskill Mountain Sugarhouse. We send used bourbon
barrels to the sugarhouse, who fills them with grade A organic
maple syrup. After a few months aging, the contents are then
bottled as our Bourbon Barrel Maple Syrup.
Then we fill those same maple syrup-laced barrels with
bourbon. After a few months of soaking up the sweetness,
we have a batch of Double Barrel Bourbon Maple Whiskey.
The initial encounter has sweetness lingering pleasantly on
the lips with the earthiness of the barrel wood balancing
out the sweetness nicely. Because of the dominant maple,
there is not the customary bourbon essences of vanilla or
caramel. The finish is peppery with a slight afterburn at the
back of the throat that lets you know this is still 90 proof
bourbon…even if it does make you want pancakes!
