Reading a recent thread about bourbon barrel aged syrup (I'm a sucker for this stuff, but it's hard to find and usually very expensive) sent me to my fridge to look at a syrup bottle label. I bought it from Boyden Valley Winery in Cambridge, VT last year. It's dark, thick and delicious! An interesting claim on the label: "Single Vermont Forest" - I originally took it as a cheeky marketing take on the "single vineyard" wines that always seem to fetch premium prices, wherever they are produced, but now I'm wondering if they're serious!? Do individual forests (or sugarbushes) produce discernible flavor differences in their syrup (like the famous "terroir" of single vineyard wines)? Is anyone else using the "single forest" (single bush?! ) labeling?

Anyway, maple and bourbon.... it's a great combo, eh?
