Bourbon Barrel-Aged. The flavor of a particular batch of maple syrup is determined entirely by the condition of the sap as it flows from the trees. This is based on a variety of climatic factors. In

Crown Maple's current machinery can handle the sap from up to 400,000 tapped trees. With approximately 100,000 trees currently tapped, the planned expansion to tap up to 400,000 trees would make Crown Maple the world's largest single producer of maple syrup.
