Sugar Bob’s Finest Kind - Smoked Maple Syrup, Real Maple Syrup Infused with Wood Smoke, Made in Vermont, For the Bar, Kitchen, and Grill, 8.45 fl oz

Let me set the stage. It was a crisp Saturday morning, and I decided to elevate breakfast with the legendary Sugar Bob’s Finest Kind Smoked Maple Syrup. Pancakes? Check. Butter? Melting perfectly. Syrup? About to change the game.Enter her. The self-proclaimed “pancake purist.” As I drizzled this smoky masterpiece over my stack, she looked skeptical. One bite in, she froze. Then came the comment that will forever haunt my culinary dreams:“This tastes like licking a smoker.”Now, I could have let it go, but instead, I doubled down. “It’s supposed to taste smoky! That’s the point!” I defended, while she shook her head like I’d just burned the pancake house down. Cue the roommates strolling in, lured by the smell of fresh pancakes. Surely, I thought, they’d be on my side.Spoiler alert: They weren’t.“This is... weird,” one said, clearly offended by my daring syrup choice. Another quipped, “It’s like BBQ sauce for breakfast, but not in a good way.” I was officially outnumbered. Suddenly, it felt like I was in the middle of a Taylor Swift music video, with “Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate” playing on loop in my head.But here’s the thing about Sugar Bob’s: it’s not for the faint of heart. This syrup is bold, smoky, and unapologetically unique. It’s like a breakfast revolution in a bottle. While they were busy roasting me for my taste in syrup, I was savoring every bite of my pancakes, basking in the glory of flavor that can only come from infusing real maple syrup with wood smoke.Sure, it’s not “basic,” and yes, it has a strong smoky flavor. But that’s what makes it incredible. If you’ve ever dreamed of combining the comfort of pancakes with the essence of a cozy campfire, this syrup is for you.The story doesn’t end there, though. After breakfast, I caught my girlfriend sneaking a little syrup onto a leftover waffle. “I thought you didn’t like it?” I asked smugly. “It’s... growing on me,” she admitted, trying to sound nonchalant. A win for Sugar Bob’s and for me.So, to anyone debating this syrup: don’t let the haters scare you off. This isn’t your average maple syrup—it’s a flavor experience that demands to be appreciated. Just don’t drop it on a table of breakfast purists unless you’re ready to shake off the critiques like Taylor herself.Highly recommend for adventurous foodies, campfire enthusiasts, and anyone who understands that pancakes deserve to be exciting.

I bought this product to use to make smoke maple old fashioneds for my holiday guests. It worked great. I have also started using it in my normal hot tea to add a little more flavor. If you like a smoky taste this syrup delivers. I have had the bottle open for at least a month and it retains the smoky smell and taste.

Adds a nice sweet flavor to drinks

We use this in our Old Fashioneds and it gives a great smoky flavor!

Awesome syrup! Great in Old Fashioneds. Haven't had it on food yet. That said, it's super smokey. Which I didn't mind but could turn some others off. Will buy again but I wish the price tag was slightly less.

Great to add a little to you favorite bourbom

Excellent taste, I will be purchasing it again in the future.

This made for a very happy Father's Day. He uses it in everything now.
