The lifespan of a good bourbon barrel is so much longer than the time it takes to make a good bourbon batch or two. After a maximum of four bourbon or whiskey batches, the barrels can then be used to age rum or even wine. One enterprising company has found even more ways to repurpose these barrels infused with the devil’s cut.
Woodford Reserve Bitters
As is expected from the Woodford brand, this top of the line set of boozy bitters delivers a truly indulgent experience. Their expertly crafted flavors enhance and compliment the flavors of your cocktails. Cured in old Woodford barrels and infused with even more Woodford…this set will be the star of any home bar.
Sauces
Soy, worcestershire, teriyaki, ponzu, barbeque, hot….all the sauces can now be enjoyed with an underlying hint of your favorite drink. In case you still haven’t found what you’re looking for, they even invented a new sauce from the bourbon barrel technique called “Kentuckiyaki”, a new American take on an old Japanese classic.
Spices
Meat rubs, smoked salts, infused spice blends…if you can dream it, someone already sells it! The spices are slow smoked in old bourbon barrels to give it a uniquely rich smoky flavor that works well with meat and poultry. Also picture: a bloody mary seasoned with bourbon barrel pepper and paprika!
Snacks
Bourbon barrel foods make the perfect bar snack and cocktail hour treat to pair with your drink. Salted nuts, spiced popcorn, and trail mix to start, then finish off your meal with a nice dessert of sorghum cookies sweetened with smoked sugar!
Candles
This line of bourbon barrel candles are surprisingly sweet and perfectly reminiscent of that creamy whiskey scent we’ve come to love. Inspired by crowd favorite whiskey cocktails, these massive candles make great gifts.
