Oak-aged and maple-finished for a warm, rich taste

Pollinator Bourbon is a grain-to-glass whiskey distilled from grains harvested in NY State and aged in New American Oak barrels for up to 6 years. It is then finished in oak barrels that have been coated with NY State maple syrup for smooth perfection. We proof our whiskeys with our mountain spring water, and don’t chill filter it. This leaves all it’s delectable flavors untouched, making it complex, elegant and balanced. With hints of caramel, vanilla and deep woody notes, Pollinator Bourbon is appreciated by novice and expert alike!

My favorite non-Kenticky bourbon! Love the maple syrup barrel aging, gives it a special sweetness. I drink it straight over one 3 inch ice cube.

This maple barrel finished bourbon from Pollinator Spirits is crafted to deliver richness, warmth, and balance in every sip. Made from New York–grown grains and aged for several years, the bourbon develops depth before undergoing a final finishing process that sets it apart. After initial aging, the bourbon is placed into barrels coated with maple syrup. This finishing step enhances the texture and softens the spirit, creating a smooth bourbon whiskey that remains structured while becoming more approachable. The result is a bourbon with notes of caramel, vanilla, and subtle sweetness, without added sugar or artificial flavoring. Like all our spirits, it is distilled with precision to remove harsh congeners, ensuring a cleaner and more enjoyable drinking experience. Perfect for sipping neat, serving over ice, or using in classic cocktails, this small batch bourbon offers versatility and refinement.
