The base spirit is a Canadian blended whisky crafted from high-quality rye, matured for three years in non-charred barrels — a deliberate choice that yields a softer, less tannic wood influence compared to the charred barrels standard in American whiskey production. After aging, the whisky is infused with Grade B dark maple sourced from Vermont, resulting in a maple character described as robust yet not overly sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet maple syrup leads immediately on the nose, followed by undertones of warm butterscotch and a faint suggestion of soft oak.

Combined with non-charred barrel aging, which preserves the rye grain's natural character rather than masking it under heavy char influence, the result is a flavored whisky that retains noticeable whisky structure. The three-year age statement, while modest, provides transparency that many flavored whiskies in the category lack entirely. For drinkers seeking a maple whisky that functions in cocktails and tastes credible neat, Cabin Fever earns its place as a purposeful expression rather than a novelty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cabin Fever","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44836679614633,"sku":"23346","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/cabin_fever_3_maple__76036.jpg?v=1730466290"},{"product_id":"cabin-fever-3-year-old-maple-whisky-1-75l","title":"Cabin Fever 3 Year Old Maple Whisky 1.75L","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCabin Fever 3 Year Old Maple Whisky 1.75L\u003c\/strong\u003e is a maple-infused Canadian blended whisky bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a 1.75-liter handle format.
