Barrel-aged and hand-infused small-batch Vermont maple syrup
Vermont maple syrup aged in bourbon barrels. The oak and spirit notes deepen the maple character, making the result richer and more complex than syrup straight from the evaporator. Exceptional on its own, and a serious ingredient in cocktails, glazes, and anything that benefits from patience.
Pure Vermont maple with cinnamon, enriching the flavor in a warm and familiar way that is more interesting than either ingredient alone. Works beautifully on breakfast, in baking, and anywhere you want something that tastes like it took effort.
Vermont maple meets vanilla resulting in a syrup that's rounder and more aromatic than the base alone. Excellent over ice cream, in coffee, or as a finishing drizzle on anything you want to feel a little more special.
The unexpected one. Heat and sweetness in the same pour, providing a syrup for people who cook seriously. Use it on cheese boards, on vegetables, or anywhere you want a combination that makes people surprised what maple can do.
We supply craft brewers, restaurants, and specialty producers with Vermont maple in bulk — 100mL, pints, gallons and larger by arrangement. Get in touch and we'll put together a quote.

We're not telling you what's aging yet.
The story starts at Rose-Hulman, where we met as Chemical Engineering students — small-town Indiana meets Navy brat. We've spent nearly 25 years in the pharmaceutical industry launching products, solving complex problems, and leading global teams. Even though the work is primarily done in the manufacturing plant, our best thinking always comes in the forest.
Along the way, we've had more adventures than we can count ... living as expats in China and Ireland, expedition mountain climbing, 75+ countries visited, and a lot of Macklemore concerts. We enjoy experiencing what makes people and places special, especially on foot and in the kitchen.
Now we're channeling our love for Vermont, our passion for hiking, Phil's love for cooking (mine for eating), and our skills as engineers into a new adventure: maple syrup! Our hope for Happy Glen is that we can connect our global community with a place we love. Welcome to Happy Glen.
Hi, I'm the Glen of Happy Glen Mapleworks. I'm named after my breed (the Glen of Imaal Terrier) and no dog is as "Glen" as me.
I'm Irish and spent my early days in Kinsale running around Dock Beach. Now I call the US and England home. I firmly believe everyone should know me which is why I frequent cafes, bars, and anywhere else where people may not have had the privilege of meeting me.
Hiking, wrestling with other big dogs, snarfing "food" off sidewalks, and long couch naps are my favorite things. I'm also delightfully stubborn — it's part of my charm. I bring enthusiastic disinterest and happiness to everything we do. Nice to meet you.
We're putting this page together. In the meantime, we're cooking — and we'll share what's worth sharing when it's ready.
Whether you want to talk maple, ask about wholesale, or just tell Glen he's a good boy — we'd love to hear from you.
