I've been making bourbon barrel aged maple syrup for a few years. Now my credit card processor is giving me issues. They want a test results for the alcohol content , my license to make it and if no license a statement from New York State that I don't need one.
How do you test for any alcohol in maple syrup? Who does such testing?
Back in my early days of making it, I asked NYS Ag & Mkts about it and was told I needed nothing special to make it in terms of testing or a license.
I've just written them again to confirm and to get an official statement that I don't need a license or testing. That will go out tomorrow.
Have any of you had such issues and were they solved? How?
Advise please. Bourbon barrel Aged maple syrup is by far my most profitable product, I certainly don't want to get it ruled out.
