Maple is doing the sweetening, and it doesn't behave like simple syrup — thinner, woodier, sanding the edge off the bourbon instead of just padding it. The citrus arrives from more than one direction, so nothing single-handedly runs the drink. It reads like breakfast, and I've stopped pretending that's a coincidence.
