Carolyn and I are always asking for real maple syrup at restaurants. At home we’ve tried a variety of different maples and we’re always looking for something special. This is why I was particularly pleased to receive this Morse Farms ‘First Night’ Maple Syrup.

Usually I instantly re-gift (or perhaps it should just be called give-away) most office gifts. Things other companies send you to thank/bribe you into continuing to do business with them. Cheap wine, shitty thumb-drives that are too small from Google, other various crap with a company logo on it — I just hand it back out to anyone on staff that might want it. For the first time in recent memory, I am keeping this!

The Morse ‘First Night’ is supposed to be special as their website claims most sugar/syrup makers find the first evaporation of the season to be something special. I don’t know but the color and consistency of the syrup in the bottle suggests the Vermont fancy grade. We’ve got 1/2 a bottle of Camp’s Organic Maple Syrup to finish, but when we do — this stuff is up next (and I’m keeping the cool bottle!)
