Borderstan: Tell us about yourself! How did you conceive of the idea for your business? Where do you source your ingredients from?
Drauglis: I bought a home whiskey-aging kit which included a small cask. After aging the spirits in it I wondered what else I could do with the cask. I had heard of others using barrels to age maple syrup and thought I would give it a go. After a successful test, I decided to scale up the project and give the final product a local twist. I knew a distiller (Catoctin Creek Distilling Company) in Virginia and some maple farmers in Pennsylvania, so I knew I could make it work.
