Maple seems to stick to the top of my mouth and crush a bunch of other flavors. But that's just me. You do know that you can add vodka or white rum to your honey mix and it will keep longer. If you do the math and can bring the ABV up to about 30 percent it will be shelf stable for about 6 weeks and will keep in the fridge for up to four-ish months.
