Honoring our darkest grade syrup - Mephistopheles Maple.
The last boil of the season is always bittersweet; it is a time when our aching muscles, tired from the season’s labors can see some rest on the horizon…it is also a time when the trees, in their yawning denouement stretch, shaking off Winter’s slumber to welcome Primavera’s warmth transfer a deeply complex flavor into the sap - and thus, the richest syrup is produced. Mephistopheles Maple is always made from our final boil of the season. Its namesake is embedded in the Faustian Bargain, for we as sugar makers never quite know how much syrup we will get in this transaction, but it will be glorious. Our sap and wood stores are low, the tree’s taps are drying up, and the sugar content is at its lowest making the boil times long….but the syrup is darkly divine. The flavor is bold and sublimely Maple, with notes of caramel and fire.
