Jack Daniel's Barrel Aged Shagbark Hickory Syrup



Just when you think that Shagbark Hickory Syrup can't get any better, Gordon Jones and Sherrie Yarling decide to guild the lily. Last month they rolled out their latest product--shagbark hickory syrup aged in Jack Daniels whiskey barrels. How did they get the idea? According to Gordon, he was inspired years ago by Julia Child. "In September 1997, we sent Julia Child a bottle of our hickory syrup as a 85th birthday gift. Weeks later she sent us a postcard thanking us and told us that her favorite use for it "was to mix it with whiskey or bourbon as a marinade for ribs". So I thought...Why not try barrel aging our Shagbark Hickory Syrup in whiskey barrels? Well, we finally got around to it and now we have a very unique product to offer the public and professional chefs."
