About the Maker: BLiS

BLiS is renowned for their innovative approach to barrel-aging, often utilizing retired bourbon and maple syrup barrels to infuse sauces with extraordinary depth. By combining foraged elements like spruce tips with traditional ferments, they create “chef-grade” ingredients that were once only available in the world’s finest restaurants. Their dedication to the craft makes them a perfect addition to the robert kline collection.

Does this sauce contain alcohol from the bourbon barrels?

While the soy sauce and fish sauce are aged in maple-bourbon barrels to extract flavor and aroma, the alcohol content is negligible and the product is considered non-alcoholic.

How does the spruce-infusion affect the taste?

The hand-harvested spruce tips provide a resinous, citrusy, and slightly floral brightness that cuts through the richness of the soy and fish sauce, adding a “wild” forest element.

What is the best way to store the sauce?

The sauce is shelf-stable until opened. After breaking the seal, please refrigerate the bottle to preserve the delicate aromatic compounds of the yuzu and spruce.

Can I use this as a substitute for regular soy sauce?

Yes, but with caution! It is much more complex and citrusy than standard soy sauce. It is best used where you want both salinity and a bright, acidic lift.

Elevate your next meal from ordinary to extraordinary with a flavor profile that is truly unlike any other. Whether you are stocking your pantry or looking for a Gift for All Occasions, this award-winning sauce is a guaranteed conversation starter.
