Our bourbon-infused hickory syrup begins the same as our Shagbark Hickory syrup: We gather naturally fallen bark from our farm, slowly roast it to draw out aromas of vanilla, toffee, malt and toasted wood, brew it into a robust tea, and sweeten the tea with organic cane sugar to create a delicately sweet botanical syrup.
Then, our signature Black Label bottle-aging process takes it to the next level: We hand cut roasted bark into individual staves, infuse them with our favorite premium bourbon, and gently place one into each bottle by hand. It's our take on reverse barrel aging: instead of sending the syrup into a barrel, we bring the bourbon-infused wood to the syrup. There, the two work in harmony, gradually building depth and complexity that only gets better with time.
