Bourbon Barrel Barbecue Sauce 8oz/227g
Bright tomato and cider tang up front, then warm spice and a bourbon glow, all wrapped in mellow sorghum sweetness. Not too thick, not too thin, it clings to char without getting heavy. The finish is savory with a gentle heat.
The Kentucky twist is the splash of bourbon and the use of local sorghum, which brings a rounded sweetness instead of sharp sugar. Cardamom, cinnamon and clove add fragrance while garlic, chili and black pepper keep it grounded.
Brush on grilled chicken, ribs or roasted vegetables, or stir into baked beans. Open a bourbon, an American amber lager or a dry cider beside the plate.

- Tasting note
- Not too thick, not too thin. By adding a splash of bourbon and sweetening it with Kentucky-grown sorghum, we created a distinctive Kentucky flavor.
- Pairs with
- Bourbon, American amber lager, dry cider, fruity Zinfandel, off-dry Riesling
- Serving
- Brush it on in the last few minutes of grilling so the sugars caramelize without burning. Warm gently and use as a dip for fries or nuggets. Toss with pulled pork, or whisk with a splash of vinegar for a quick mop sauce.
