Verdict · checked Nov 1, 2026
Yes
Lincoln County Reserve says that "For over 100 years, Lincoln County Reserve, located in Merrill, Wisconsin, has been producing the finest 100% pure maple syrup." The family-owned operation "taps 2,000 acres of local maple trees" in Northern Wisconsin, and its products page describes its own production facility and its Bourbon Barrel Aged syrup made with "our 100% Pure Wisconsin Maple Syrup."
| Product line | Made in | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 100% pure maple syrup (Grade A Dark, Grade A Amber) | Merrill, WI, with syrup also sourced from Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan sugarhouses | Made in USA |
| Bourbon Barrel Aged and Cinnamon maple syrups | Merrill, WI | Made in USA |
Not every drop comes from its own trees: the company says it is "proud to source from local sugarhouses across Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan." That keeps the syrup American and Midwestern, but some of it is bought from other US producers rather than tapped by the family itself.
How we checked: On 2026-11-01 we read the Lincoln County Reserve homepage, products page and contact page at lcrmaplesyrup.com, which describe where the company is based, how much land it taps, where it sources additional syrup and how its barrel-aged syrup is made.

About Lincoln County Reserve
Lincoln County Reserve is a family-owned maple syrup maker in Merrill, Wisconsin that taps 2,000 acres of its own trees and buys syrup from sugarhouses in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan.
Own trees plus neighbors' syrup
Lincoln County Reserve says its family-owned operation in Merrill, Wisconsin has made pure maple syrup for over 100 years. It gives no exact founding year. The family taps 2,000 acres of its own maple trees in northern Wisconsin.
Not all of the syrup comes from those trees. The company says it also sources from local sugarhouses across Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan. So a bottle is American and Midwestern, but it may blend syrup from other US producers with the family's own.
Grade A Dark is the old Grade B
Grade A Dark is the bold, robust grade that was sold as Grade B before the grading names changed. Lincoln County Reserve bottles it in 24 oz glass bottles and a 32 oz jug. The company also sells a Grade A Amber, a bourbon barrel aged syrup and a cinnamon maple syrup, all from Merrill.
