Jakeman's seems to be regarded as the best tasting maple syrup in Canada, and considering that the Canadians probably know a thing or two about maple syrup, that goes a long way with us. Just be careful when you're packing that bottle of instant goo in your suitcase for the trip home. We might suggest leaving it unopened and placed inside a zip-loc bag, in the very middle of your suitcase. And remember, if you're flying, you can't take that much liquid through TSA.
