RunamokMaple & WhistlePig Organic Rye Whiskey Barrel-aged Maple Syrup 375 ml | 12.7 FL ozUSDA Organic

Breakfast was supposed to be a peaceful time, a quiet moment to savor pancakes with my favorite smoked maple syrup. That syrup was everything to me—rich, complex, with a smoky undertone that made me feel like I was dining in a cozy cabin by the fire. But then someone decided my breakfast bliss wasn’t good enough.The first time I served her pancakes with smoked maple syrup, she took one bite, froze, and looked at me like I’d just committed a culinary crime.“What is this?” she asked, setting her fork down with dramatic flair.“It’s smoked maple syrup,” I said, trying not to take it personally.“It tastes like I’m licking a smoking BBQ or a wood smoker,” she declared, pushing her plate away. “Why would anyone do this to syrup?!”I’ll admit, I was offended. My smoked syrup and I had a bond, and suddenly, it was under attack. Still, in the interest of preserving the peace, I went hunting for something less “offensive” to her delicate palate. That’s when I stumbled upon Runamok Organic Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup. It sounded fancy enough to pass the test—organic, aged in bourbon barrels, and free of any smoky “controversy.”When it arrived, I cautiously unveiled it at breakfast, pouring it onto pancakes like a magician revealing a trick. She took one bite, and to my shock, she actually nodded in approval.“This… is good,” she said, without a single complaint about BBQs or campfires.And honestly? She wasn’t wrong.Finally, a Maple Syrup That Doesn’t Offend Her Highness’s Delicate PalateI had to buy the Runamok Organic Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup because someone decided my smoked maple syrup was “too much” for their refined taste buds. Heaven forbid we enjoy a little smoky complexity—no, everything has to be smooth, sweet, and drama-free, unlike our dinner conversations.I’ll admit, though, this syrup is really good. It’s rich, perfectly sweet, and has a subtle bourbon flavor that pairs beautifully with pancakes, waffles, and yes, even her precious artisanal cheese. It’s so good, I’ve almost forgotten the pain of being judged for liking smoked syrup. (Almost.)This syrup turned out to be a hit, and now I can’t use it without hearing, “See? I told you this would be better.” Of course, she takes credit for discovering it, even though I’m the one who ordered it. Typical.If you’re tired of being roasted for your syrup preferences and need a crowd-pleaser that even the pickiest eater (or syrup snob) will love, this is the one. Just be prepared to hear, “You should’ve gotten this sooner” at least five times per breakfast.Highly recommend—for your pancakes and your peace of mind.Now, breakfast is a little smoother, but every time I pour this syrup, I hear her voice in my head: “Why didn’t we just start with this?” And while I miss my smoky syrup days, at least I don’t have to endure any more comparisons to licking BBQ grills.Runamok, you saved breakfast—and maybe my sanity.

Excellent syrup! It takes Saturday morning pancakes to a whole different level!Expensive but worth trying. Don’t waste it on the young kids.

The smoke flavor is incredible

Great time and quality

This Runamok Maple & WhistlePig Rye Whiskey Barrel-Aged Maple Syrup is absolutely divine! I actually discovered it after seeing a video on Instagram for pork belly cinnamon rolls, and it was one of the key ingredients. The combination of rich, smooth maple syrup with the subtle warmth and complexity of WhistlePig rye whiskey was just incredible. It elevates everything from pancakes and waffles to ice cream and even savory dishes. The flavor profile is perfectly balanced. My only wish? That the price point was a little lower so I could justify indulging in this liquid gold more often. It's definitely a splurge, but worth every penny. If they could bring the price down a bit, I'd be buying this more often.

For the price it was - and the description provided - I was expecting to be amazed by this maple syrup. I was not. It was decent, but I have had better genuine maple syrup at a better price. Don't plan to buy again. It's all in personal taste, I suppose.

This is the best syrup I've ever had! After using this I can't go back to any other syrup. I'm hooked. First they get me with their tasty whiskey, now the got me with their tasty syrup. What's next? Whatever it may be, I'm down for it! Bring it on!

Great taste
