Acerum is maple eau de vie (brandy) made in Quebec, Canada, following the specifications of Canada's the Union of Maple Spirits Distillers (UDSÉ).
Although some distilled alcohol tests were then carried out in university laboratories, it was not until the 1990s that certain maple syrup producers began to produce a wine based on this sweet resource, which was initially called Acer.
One of the first producers of Acerum was The Domaine Acer, based in Témiscouata, Quebec.
When Vallier Robert took the reins of his family maple business in 1990, he quickly saw the potential to make alcohol.
In 1996, the maple farmer was granted the first licence to produce artisanal maple-based alcoholic beverages.
