Is Kentucky Bourbon Special?

Yes it is. Kentucky has 68 distilleries as of 2018, up 250% in the last decade.  More than 7.5 million barrels of Bourbon Whiskey currently sit in Kentucky Rickhouses.  There are more barrels of bourbon  in Kentucky than people!  It’s not an accident that Kentucky Bourbon has become an International sensation.

There is a very specific set of standards to which all bourbon makers must adhere. The Federal Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits state that bourbon made for U.S. consumption must be:

  • Produced in the United States
  • Made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn.
  • Aged in new, charred oak barrels
  • Distilled to no more than 160 (U.S.) proof (80% alcohol by volume)
  • Entered into the container for aging at no more than 125 proof (62.5% alcohol by volume)
  • Bottled at 80 proof or more (40% alcohol by volume)

Aphrodesi’hacks’

 

Bourbon Chocolate Cherry Dessert

  •  While each of the parts is easy, consider baking the cake, making the instant pudding, and marinating the cherries the night before – then it’s just a matter of mixing the chocolate mocha- and you can start assembling.
  • This dessert tastes much better chilled- be sure you have built-in at least one hour for the dessert to chill
  • Save the whipped topping swirl on top of each dessert until you are ready to serve-  Whipped topping seems to deflate over time and in the refrigerator.

 

 

Mix it Up

You can make this dessert family-friendly by eliminating the Bourbon and using plain pitted fresh cherries

Go wild and add a layer of crushed Oreos – and substitute Oreo crumbles for the Pecans on top

Bourbon is the answer
