This pure, organic, non-psychoactive [Vermont](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-fashioned-meat-stick) Maple Syrup is first aged in WhistlePig Whiskey Barrels then "infused with Vermont’s finest sticky icky," otherwise known as terpenes, or naturally derived cannabis flavoring. Taste-wise, this aromatic syrup is said to be herbal, earthy and full of maple flavors. To complete this unique drinking experience—which doesn't produce a high—WhistlePig bundled the Trooper Edition Sticky Icky Cannabis Flavor Infused Barrel-Aged Maple Syrup with PiggyBack Rye for a 420-inspired cocktail kit. Naturally, the unique flavor profile of the syrup works well in something like a Maple Old Fashioned or a Maple Bourbon Sour. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 39% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Cannabis-infused Products:** The incorporation of cannabis terpenes into consumables like maple syrup highlights growing consumer interest in cannabis flavors without psychoactive effects. - **Flavor Innovation:** The introduction of herbal and earthy notes into traditional sweeteners exemplifies a broader trend towards complex and adventurous flavor profiles in the culinary world. - **Seasonal Niche Marketing:** Leveraging culturally significant dates like 420 for product launches can create unique market opportunities and build connections with targeted communities. - **Limited-edition Craft Beverages:** Crafting exclusive, limited-edition beverage kits that combine trendy flavors can drive consumer engagement and demand in the experiential consumables market. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Cannabis Industry:** Integrating non-psychoactive cannabis elements into food products expands the potential for cannabis to influence non-traditional markets like gourmet foods. - **Artisanal Foods:** The emergence of cannabis-flavored artisanal syrups underscores a trend in the artisanal food industry towards gourmet, niche product offerings. - **Beverage Market:** Using innovative flavor blends in conjunction with alcoholic beverages presents opportunities for creating distinctive cocktail experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Maple Syrup-Infused Stouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seasonal-stout.md) - [Cannabis-Infused Syrups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannabisinfused-syrups.md) - [Non-Alcoholic Whiskey Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/non-alcoholic-whiskey-cocktails.md) - [Maple Syrup-Flavored Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canadian-maple-syrup-soda.md) - [Crisp Autumnal Cannabis Edibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insa-cannabis-products.md) - [Smoked Old Fashioned Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-fashioned-kit.md) - [Limited-Edition Maple-Infused Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maple-from-canada.md) - [Cannabis-Inspired IPAs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veritasty.md) - [Cherry-Infused Maple Syrups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-black-cherry-infused-maple-syrup.md)
