“Since they’re all pure sugars, there is no expiration.”
Bowling and his business partner John Blevins took over Golden Eagle Syrup in 2011 along with their families.

“We purchased it because we wanted to keep it a small Alabama company,” Bowling explained.
“The nostalgia of it is what intrigued us about it.”
“‘A syrup without any equal’ is what Mr. Patterson used to say,” Bowling continued.
