History

Maple liqueur is considered to be a part of Canadian cuisine, in part because of its components being Canadian whiskey and Canadian maple syrup. Both of these components have their own unique history in Canadian cuisine. Notably, maple syrup has also been used in maple sap beer in areas such as Vermont.^[1] The process of mixing alcohol with maple syrup has been practiced traditionally in Canada for an extended period of time, and distilleries make their maple liqueur with these same processes.

Canadian Maple Syrup

The practice of producing maple syrup was practiced by First Nations people in North America, long before Europeans arrived to Canada.^[2] First Nations people would collect maple sap in the process of curing meat. The practice of sap collection later was learned by Canadian settlers, who boiled the sap to produce maple syrup.^[2] Often, settlers would bore taps into the trees and place a collection bucket underneath it to collect sap. The maple leaf is on the Canadian flag and is a symbol of Canadian culture. As well, Agriculture Canada states that maple syrup continues to be introduced into liqueur blends.^[3]

Canadian Whiskey

Canadian whiskey is describe as a grain spirit that has been aged in charred oak barrels for at least three years.^[4] The practice originated from Scottish settlers, who brought over their practice from overseas.^[4] The primary ingredient is corn, but rye is important as it adds for its distinctive flavor.^[4] Currently, there are many brands of Canadian whiskey available.

Production

Essentially, production of maple liqueur consists of equal parts Canadian whiskey and pure maple syrup.^[1] The mixture is then aged and refrigerated for two weeks.^[1] As with standard aging processes, the longer the aging is, the better the final product is. Maple liqueur can be easily made at home using air-tight glass jars. As well, other spices and ingredients can be used, such as glycerin, honey, or brown sugar.^[1]
