Crafting Extraordinary Flavors Since 2004

What began with a chef's quest for the perfect ingredients has grown into a force in gourmet food crafting. From our home in Grand Rapids, MI we age carefully sourced ingredients in rare bourbon barrels, some over twenty years old, creating flavors that can't be found anywhere else. Each small batch carries forward our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the pursuit of extraordinary taste.

You guys have just ruined me. I will never be satisfied with any other syrup. Thanks a lot!

Stuart Butler

Just amazing flavor. Got this to be used in my old fashioneds(yes I am from WI). Makes a killer version of an old fashioned. Then I tried it on pancakes and I want to just drink this from the bottle.

David Ludwig

Exceeded our expectations! We knew this would be a great maple syrup, and the cinnamon flavors make this a nice fall treat

Rebecca E.

I use a lot of soy sauce in my cooking and have been looking for a traditional Japanese brew to add to my arsenal. This soy sauce fits the bill; slightly thicker than say Kikkoman soy sauce and with a deeper, more complex flavor. Ideal for sushi when mixed with a little mirin and some wasabi.

Mike McCool

Have been a fan of the product since I first had it in Florida a few years ago. It is by far the best hot sauce that there is!
