Wood'sVermont Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup – Premium Maple Syrup with Rich Flavor & Subtle Bourbon Notes – Ideal for Pancakes, Desserts, and Cocktails – 8.45 oz

High quality and a good value. The bottle and label design made a pretty addition to a honemade country breakfast gift basket.

I was introduced to the idea of smoky maple syrup about 3 years ago at the Metro DC Food Show. There were several vendors giving out free samples. It was quite a shocker. It's analogous to drinking fat free milk for 20 years, and then consuming a glass of whole milk. Boom! Moving forward, I like adding this syrup to BBQ Sauce, mixed drinks, breakfast sausages, etc. I've read other reviews which claim that the flavor is artificial, i.e. someone inundated this syrup with liquid smoke. I can neither prove, nor disprove that claim. All I know is that it's extremely bold and smoky (ahumado en Español), and another flavor to incorporate into my culinary palette. Finally, it's much cheaper than other brands; it's a specialty item, so paying more is expected. However, I do not want to pay over $20.00. Hence, I'm rating this product with 5 stars.

This was a bit expensive. But it did come in a well sized jug. Quality is good. Well packaged and quick delivery. Just a bit expensive was the only reason for the bit lower review.

If you like flavorful, or spicy food?, there is absolutely nothing to dislike about this product ... except for maybe its price ... This used to be something you could pick it up seasonally at Trader Joe's - for around $8 for an 8 point something oz bottle..... NOW, that Trader Joe's stopped carrying it, not last year, not this year, it can cost you an arm and both legs online $15 to $40 for the same product ... that is called gouging ... Used to be I would give it as gifts to over a dozen friends and family who wanted, or demanded it ... Now, its me and mine only. And even there, you better show up Christmas day to get it ... or it's mine! And if you whine, you may get a good bottle of vintage and yet still cheaper ... by the oz, wine.

I do like this product unfortunately the top to the bottle wasn't on tight and the syurp leaked. It was packed really well but paper and bubble wrap were all sticky.

I've been in food for 34 years and love to cook. This syrup has the taste I would expect from 8-12 hour slow cooked meat from a smoker, but sweet. I was blown away w the taste and can't wait to grill 3 or 4 different meats all w this product to see how it compares from one animal to the next. I'm definitely gonna have some on my ice cream tonight! Awesome stuff!

I literally won't buy salmon if I'm out of this stuff. I don't know how I lived without it before. The container is adorable-perfect for gifting. The price isn't that bad if you use it like me. I drizzle over my Brussel sprouts. So good! I also dip my salmon in it. We'll see what else I find to pair it with. This was the first time I ordered it myself. My first bottle was a gift. The shipping packaging was great. No way that bottle was breaking. I'll be a regular customer for this product and am constantly recommending it to people. Enjoy!

The packaging is nice so if you know someone who likes really smoky flavored syrup, this would be a nice gift.
