BLiS™ Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple Syrup
$ 21.95
2X GOLD SOFI AWARD WINNER
Outstanding Dessert Sauce/Topping (2016) & Sweeteners Category (2024)
We created this because serious cooks deserve better ingredients.
When we first aged maple syrup in freshly emptied bourbon barrels, we weren't following trends. We were expanding boundaries. Michigan maple sap, harvested at peak season, meets Kentucky bourbon barrels still wet with their previous contents. The process is straightforward but transformative.
The result is a culinary tool, not just a topping. Time does what additives can't – builds complexity through natural infusion of bourbon, vanilla, and oak characteristics. No artificial intervention – just process and patience. This commitment to craft has earned Gold SOFI Awards in both 2016 (Outstanding Dessert Sauce/Topping) and 2024 (Sweeteners Category), the specialty food industry's highest recognition of excellence.
Use it where ordinary maple syrup disappoints:
Finishing sauces
Craft cocktails
Sophisticated desserts
Savory applications where standard sweeteners fall short
Each use reveals different dimensions of its character.
For the cook who approaches every ingredient with intention. The reference point, not the alternative.

BLiS™ Barrel Aged Fish Sauce
$ 18.95
Traditional fish sauce stopped evolving centuries ago. Until now.
Our approach is deliberate: take an already essential umami foundation, then introduce it to barrels seasoned with maple and bourbon that reshape its character. The interaction isn't mere infusion – it's transformation.
The maple-bourbon barrels do what no spice or additive can. They introduce subtle sweetness that balances salt intensity while contributing oak undertones and complexity. What emerges isn't just fish sauce with notes – it's an entirely different instrument in your culinary arsenal.
Professional kitchens use it to build foundational depth without overwhelming other ingredients. It performs where standard fish sauce becomes one-dimensional:
Complex broths
Nuanced marinades
Dressings that need sophistication without explanation
Depth without compromise. The standard for those who build flavor intentionally.

Fresh Black Anchovy, Sea Salt

BLiS™ Spruce-Infused Ponzu Sauce
$ 20.95
2024 GOLD SOFI AWARD WINNER: Condiments, Dressings & Marinades
Ponzu reimagined from the ingredients up.
We built this sauce using our own barrel-aged foundations – not shortcuts. Four signature BLiS products work in concert: yuzu vinegar, maple-bourbon aged soy sauce, barrel-aged fish sauce, and Michigan bourbon barrel aged maple syrup. Then we introduce spruce tips and kombu to create something entirely new.
The result defies convention. Bright citrus notes from yuzu vinegar cut through richness. Umami depth from aged soy and fish sauce provides foundation. Subtle sweetness from maple syrup adds balance. Spruce and kombu introduce forest and ocean complexity that standard ponzu never attempts. This uncompromising approach has earned the 2024 Gold SOFI Award in the Condiments, Dressings & Marinades category, the specialty food industry's highest recognition.
Use it strategically:
As a focused dipping sauce that defines proteins rather than just accompanying them
As a light glaze that transforms rather than just finishes
As a marinade that penetrates with purpose instead of merely seasoning
Immediate complexity that explains itself. No introduction necessary.
Ingredients
BLiS yuzu vinegar, BLiS maple-bourbon aged soy sauce, BLiS barrel-aged fish sauce, BLiS Michigan bourbon barrel aged maple syrup, spruce tips, kombu.Allergen: Contains fin fish.
