Flag Hill Distillery: SUGAR MAPLE LIQUEUR
NH Maple Sugar First: What better product to use in keeping with great local products than NH Maple Sugar. NH produces close to 90,000 gallons of maple syrup a year and is the primary ingredient in our Sugar Maple Liqueur. We use 100% Grade A amber maple syrup - no artificial flavoring here !! We purchase maple syrup from Littleton, NH several times a year to produce a liqueur with a unique maple flavor unlike any other you'll find on the store shelves.
Neutral Spirits Next: A calculated amount of neutral spirits, including our General John Stark Vodka, and distilled water are added to the blending tank. Combined, these ingredients produce a unique liqueur that aptly presents the sweet flavor of maple syrup balanced with the base of the product, General John Stark Vodka.
Blending Them: A special tank, called a blending tank, is used to combine the ingredients for our liqueurs. A blending tank is specially designed such that the ingredients being pumped into the tank are forced to mix or blend together, rather than create a vortex in the tank (due to the pressure of pumping in the ingredients) which would inhibit the ingredients from blending together.
